Former captain Habibul Bashar Sumon and Nasir Ahmed Nasu are the other two members of the election commission.

A voter list of 212 has been prepared, and the possibility of arranging e-voting is being explored.

“We hope that everyone will participate in the election. The voter list has already been prepared, where 212 people have registered. We hope that these 212 voters will attend and vote,” former cricketer of Bangladesh Minhajul Abedin, who held various posts of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after his retirement said here today.
