EC hastily wants to include EVM: Shujan

Dhaka, Sept 16 (Just News): Shushashoner Jonno Nagorik (Shujan), a civil society platform, today blasted the Election Commission (EC) for sending the proposal hurriedly to the government to use electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the upcoming national polls.

“The Election Commission is working like a rocket to include EVM system in the RPO,” said Shujan President M Hafizuddin Khan at a roundtable meeting held at the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka.

Hafizuddin Khan said many countries are yet to start the use of EVM in their elections while many countries suspended the system after using it as they think it was not suitable.

The commission also wants to use the EVM but it could not start any process to introduce it to the people yet, said Hafizuddin, also former adviser to a caretaker government.
