A total of 40,206 people submitted written comments on small pieces of paper, expressing a wide range of personal, social, and national concerns. Some citizens shared personal grief and hardship, while others demanded harassment-free public services, reform of state institutions, justice for the July killings, gender equality, child safety, improved education, and a corruption-free, dominance-free Bangladesh. Alongside praise and constructive suggestions, some messages also included criticism of the government and expressions of anger or personal attacks. The vote campaign vehicles titled "Vote'r Gari" conducted outreach activities at approximately 2,169 locations, covering union, upazila, and district headquarters as well as remote and hard-to-reach areas across the country.
