The Election Commission is set to hold the second phase of the union council polls on Thursday amid a recent spate of disorder and violence surrounding the election. The candidates vying for the post of chairman are running under party banners. The BNP has declined to take part in the polls, so its candidates have run as independents. Voting will be held at 20 union councils using electronic voting machines, while the rest will use paper ballots. EC official Ashok Kumar Debnath also said that the commission will finalise the schedule of the fourth phase of the election on Wednesday.
