EC seeks 2 executive magistrates in each upazila

The Election Commission (EC) has asked the Ministry of Public Administration to take measures to recruit two Executive Magistrates in each upazila or thana from the day after the announcement of the election schedule until two days after the polling day, to ensure the election code of conduct.

The Election Commission Secretariat sent a letter in this regard on Thursday, December 11.

According to the letter, the EC, under the Mobile Court Act, 2009, a minimum of two (02) Executive Magistrates should be appointed in each upazila or thana from the day after the announcement of the election schedule until two days after the polling day to ensure strict enforcement of the code of conduct for the 13th Parliamentary Election.

The much-sought schedule for the 13th parliamentary election and the national referendum was announced today.
