Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin has said that the erosion of public confidence in the electoral system poses a major challenge in bringing voters to polling booths. In a bid to redress the issue, he emphasised that the Election Commission (EC) was making the "utmost effort" to conduct the upcoming parliamentary polls in a transparent and orderly manner. "The commission is preparing the election framework, mobilising substantial manpower, and taking every possible measure to ensure a fair and impartial election,” he said during an event in Rangpur on Saturday. “EC officials will not work for or against anyone in the upcoming election. Our goal is to hold a free, fair, and impartial election on behalf of the country’s 180 million people.”Nasir also assured that action would be taken against presiding officers who caused problems in vote collection during the last election.
