Voting Ends in Crucial Bangladesh polls, Counting Underway

Bangladesh people on Thursday voted in the crucial general elections, marred by sporadic incidents of violence, to elect a new government to replace the interim administration which took charge after the fall of the Awami League regime in August 2024. 

The voting for the 13th parliamentary elections was held along with a



referendum on a complex 84-point reform package. 

The voting began in 299 out of 300 parliamentary constituencies across the country from 7:30 am (local time) amid tight security and continued until 4:30 pm. However, in places where voters were inside the polling station, the voting will continue until they vote.
