Voters of six constituencies, where electronic voting machines (EVM) will be used, will get their smart national identity cards before the election.
The Election Commission (EC) made the announcement in a circular on Friday, as per a UNB report.
EVMs will be used in all polling centres of Dhaka-6 and 13, Chattogram-9, Rangpur-3, Khulna-2 and Satkhira-2. A number of voters from these constituencies are yet to get their smart NID cards.
The EC circular said voting would be difficult if the voters' fingerprints do not match. Smart NID cards help match fingerprint easily.
Concerned authorities have been ordered to complete NID card distribution before the election, scheduled for December 30.
