Nepal’s Election Commission will learn from Bangladesh’s postal voting system, with a Nepalese delegation scheduled to meet Bangladesh Election Commission officials on Wednesday (October 7).

The delegation will meet Chief Election Commissioner AMM Nasir Uddin-led Election Commission at the Election Building at 11AM to discuss Bangladesh’s IT-supported postal ballot voting system used in the 13th parliamentary election.

The Nepalese delegation includes Election Commissioners Dr Janaki Kumari Talukdar and Dr Rajib Subba, Secretary Krishna Prasad Kapri, Senior Computer Officer Anup Neupane, Deputy Attorney Kamala Kafle and UNDP representative Prabhat Kumar.

Bangladesh introduced IT-supported postal voting for the first time for government employees, election-duty personnel, prisoners and Bangladeshis living abroad. The Election Commission developed the “Postal Vote BD” app for voter registration.

According to EC officials, 1,528,131 authorised voters registered through the app and 1,224,188 of them cast their votes, representing 80.11 percent of registered voters.

Returning officers received 1,165,592 postal ballots, including 498,205 from expatriate voters and 667,388 from voters inside Bangladesh.

Of the received postal ballots, 1,073,497 were declared valid, accounting for 70.25 percent of the total authorised registered voters.

The Nepalese delegation will discuss Bangladesh’s experience with the IT-supported postal voting system and its implementation process with the Election Commission, officials said.
