Voter ID

We are talking about using technology not available in the country, imported from abroad. We think the authorities are aware that the equipments that would be used would require routine maintenance.
In Bangladesh, a number of new technology based projects are reported to be not operating due to lack of routine and regular maintenance, lack of trained manpower, choice of inappropriate technology etc. We hope the authorities concerned would kindly keep this point in mind and proceed with the preparation of the voter list nationwide in one go.
It is needless to mention that any delay in the preparation of the voter list would affect the current plan for the general election, and would give rise to the blame game seen in our political arena.
