The Election Commission (EC) is set to begin its door-to-door voter information collection campaign starting Monday as part of updating the national voter list for 2025, reports Dhaka Tribune.

The campaign targets citizens born on or before January 1, 2008, according to Md Shariful Alam, the EC’s public relations director, who shared the details with the media on Sunday.

This marks the seventh time the voter list will be updated since the introduction of a voter list with photographs in 2007-08. Past updates occurred during 2009-10, 2012-13, 2015-16, 2017-18, 2019-20, and 2022-23.

Required documents for voter registration:

  • A copy of a 17-digit online birth certificate
  • A copy of a nationality or citizenship certificate
  • A photocopy of the NID of next of kin (parents, siblings, etc.)
  • A copy of SSC/Dakhil/Equivalent, Class VIII pass certificate (if applicable)
  • A copy of a utility bill (electricity, gas, water, or chowkidari receipt)

Key guidelines for accurate voter registration:

  • Names, parents' names, and birth details should match official documents, including birth certificates or educational certificates.
  • The permanent address should reflect the voter’s actual permanent address.
  • Dual or duplicate voter registration is strictly prohibited.

The EC also issued a notification warning that dual registration is a punishable offense under the law.

Cases of multiple voter entries can be easily identified through fingerprint tests, the notification added.
