Following the resolution of these objections, the Election Commission plans to release the final list on 2 March, which will serve as the foundation for the upcoming sub-district elections.
Traditionally, the draft list is published annually on 2 January, as per the Electoral Rolls Ordinance of 1982. However, this year's release was delayed due to the 12th National Parliamentary elections held on 7 January.
The list can be found in each sub-district and police station election office across Bangladesh.
