Asked EC not to use the 'magic box': Shafiqul
Jatiya Party mayoral candidate Shafiqul Islam Madhu today expressed his frustration over voting through electronic voting machines (EVMs) and said he had told the Election Commission not to use them in the Khulna City Corporation polls.
"I had told the Election Commission not to use the magic box in the Khulna City Corporation polls, but they did not listen," he said after casting his vote a Khulna Collegiate School centre this morning.
"Now you see, they cannot run the EVMs for an hour."
"There is no enthusiasm among the voters, among the people about polls," he said, adding a fair vote is not possible under the government.
He also expressed doubt over whether there would be even 40 percent turnout.
