EC Secretary Mohammed Abdullah on Sunday told the press that they had already taken all the necessary preparations to hold the elections in a fair and free manner. He added that they had instructed electoral officials to remain alert so none could demonstrate high-handedness against laws during the polls. “There will be executive magistrates in all the constituencies, where the elections are taking place. The four municipalities are Golachipa of Patuakhali, Sakhipur of Tangail and Arani of Rajshahi, and Sherpur of Sherpur. Elections to four other upazilas — Kurigram sadar, Kathalia of Jhalakathi, and Comilla sadar (south) and Chauddagram upazilas – will not be held as candidates there have already been elected uncontested.
