Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda
Staff Correspondent: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda said that Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) will be used in the upcoming national election if all political parties want.
The CEC made the opinion while addressing newsmen at Election Commission office in Agargaon on Thursday afternoon.
He said that the EC will sit with all political parties in July to discuss over Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).
KM Nurul Huda said, "We have discussed on EVM today. We are checking the technical issue of EVM."
"Lots of complexities will be reduced if the authority can use this machine. Our 70 percent tasks will be decreased. We have the ability to implement the EVM in the polls. But, we will not take any decision without discussing with political parties," the CEC said.
The EVM will be used in some local polls before taking any final decision in this regard, he added.
