Neither magistrate, RAB, police nor BGB can enter the polling booth. Election Commissioner said that only voters and those in charge of voting can enter. Alamgir.

He said these things in an exchange meeting with the presiding officers at Bangtaj Auditorium, the temporary office of the Gazipur City Election Returning Officer, on Sunday (May 21) afternoon.

Addressing the presiding officers, the Election Commissioner said that 90 percent of the problems of the center will be solved as a result of your neutrality and efficiency. You have nothing to panic. Magistrate, Police, BGB and other law enforcement agencies are there to assist you. You are the commander of the polling station. Magistrate, Police, BGB are all controlled by you. They will stay outside. In special circumstances, they can enter only when the presiding officer orders.

Referring to the area of law enforcement, he said, if you cannot restore order in the polling station even with the legal powers that have been given to you, then inform the law and order forces. If they can’t restore order then stop voting. Later, if the situation is normal, polling will start again. However, if order does not return in any way, then inform the returning officer and declare the polling of that center closed.

Regarding journalists, Election Commissioner Alamgir said, there is a rule for journalists too. What they can do and what they cannot do has been informed by the Election Commission. The card provided by the Election Commission will be signed by the Returning Officer. Only journalists with signed cards can enter polling stations. On the back of that card will be written all their dos and don’ts. Never hinder what they can do and never allow what they cannot.
