The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday asked the Ministry of Public Administration take measures to recruit two Executive Magistrates in each upazila or thana from the day after the announcement of the election schedule until two days after the polling day, to ensure election code of conduct.
The Election Commission Secretariat issued a notice in this regard on Thursday.
According to the notice, the EC, under the Mobile Court Act, 2009, a minimum of two (02) Executive Magistrates should be appointed in each upazila or thana from the day after the announcement of the election schedule until two days after the polling day to ensure strict enforcement of the code of conduct for the 13th Parliamentary Election.
The much-sought schedule for the 13th parliamentary election and the national referendum will be announced at 6pm today.
