Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74424, member: 636"] Bangladesh's election chief met with government department heads to lock down logistics for the upcoming national vote and constitutional referendum happening at the same time. Secretary Akhtar Ahmed told reporters the commission wants two voting booths per room since both ballots are getting processed together, and they bumped up worker pay to stop politicians from bribing poll staff with free meals. Around 100,000 overseas citizens have signed up to cast ballots already, and trial runs showed existing centers can handle the load without adding more locations. Ahmed said security looks pretty stable across the country heading into what he called next year's biggest democratic exercise, though some random problems might pop up here and there. [/QUOTE]
