A three-member US delegation met the CEC and EC Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed at its Agargaon headquarters. After the meeting, the US diplomat said he had a “very good” discussion with the CEC about the upcoming February 12 polls. After the meeting, EC Secretary Akhtar said the US delegation inquired about the code of conduct and how complaints are being handled. They were particularly curious about postal ballots -- how they will be managed and counted, where they will be sent, how many types of postal ballots are there, and the timeframe for counting alongside referendum ballots. The EC secretary added that samples of postal ballots were shown to the US delegation.
