Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Kazi Habibul Awal on Sunday called for changes in the electoral system to make the balloting acceptable to all.
The CEC said this during a dialogue with Jatiya Party (Japa) at the EC Bhaban on Sunday, reports UNB.
"Under the current system, no matter how many competencies I demonstrate, it is very difficult to come up with an election that is absolutely acceptable to everyone," he said.
He said it is also a disappointment because everyone will not sincerely help the EC to properly perform its duty.
The CEC also suggested holding workshops to find out the way out and have an acceptable vote.
The 14-member Japa delegation was led by its secretary general Mujibul Haque Chunnu.
