More than 150 organizations apply for registration as poll observers

Earlier this year, the Election Commission had invited applications from organizations willing to be registered as election observers. 199 organizations had applied before the February 2 deadline, but the commission later received applications from 11 more organizations.

After scrutiny of the applications, the Commission declared 68 organizations eligible for registration but later removed the names of two organizations from the list.

Election Commissioner MD Anisur Rahman had recently said that the 12th parliamentary elections are likely to be held in the first week of next January.
