Prior to the Thirteenth National Parliamentship Due to the challenging terrain and lack of communication infrastructure, poll workers, election supplies, and polling stations have started to arrive at 20 of the district’s outlying polling locations via helicopter.
Twenty of the hilly district’s 213 voting places are situated in incredibly remote locations that are inaccessible by road or river.
Consequently, these locations have been recognized as “helisortie” polling stations by the Election Commission (a single, comprehensive operation or trip carried out by a helicopter).
With the help of the Bangladesh Air Force, election equipment officers, poll workers, and security guards began gradually leaving for the outlying centers on Saturday, according to Additional District Magistrate Nishat Sharman.
She said the transportation process continued on Sunday, particularly for polling stations in Juraichhari upazila, and will be completed by February 10.
Five of the 20 helisortie polling sites are in Bilaichhari, two are in Barkal, seven are in Juraichhari, and six are in Baghaichhari upazila. In these isolated places, there are over 30,000 registered voters.
In order to ensure a seamless voting procedure, the Election Commission chose to employ helicopters to bring ballot boxes, election supplies, poll workers, and security personnel to these locations on time.
The District Election Office reports that there are 5,09,267 voters in Rangamati, spread across 50 unions, two municipalities, and 10 upazilas. There are two transgender voters among them, 245,855 female voters, and 263,410 male votes.
According to officials, the administration has made all the preparations required to guarantee a free, fair, and acceptable election in the district.
