Kabir Humayun: Shus-hashoner Jonno Nagorik (Shujan), a civil society platform, blasted the Election Commission (EC) for sending the proposal hurriedly to the government to use electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the upcoming national polls.
“The Election Commission is working like a rocket to include EVM system in the RPO,” said Shujan President M Hafizuddin Khan.
He placed the observation at a roundtable meeting held at the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka.
Many countries in the world could not yet start the use of EVM in their elections and many of those later suspended the system after running it as they think it was not suitable, said Hafizuddin.
“Why Election Commission has hastily moved to use the EVM?” he questioned.
The former adviser to a caretaker government also said the commission wants to use the EVM but did not yet start any process of introducing it to people.
