The heads of the Army, Navy, and Air Force are meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner, AMM Nasir Uddin. That meeting is happening at the main election building. Later the same day, the Election Commission will hold a major law and order review. A bunch of top security and intelligence bosses will attend. That list includes the principal secretary, the home affairs secretary, police and prison chiefs, and leaders from forces like the Border Guard, RAB, Ansar, DGFI, and NSI. Their agenda covers pre-election security, illegal arms recovery, and enforcing the electoral code of conduct.
The commission also changed the official election timeline. The window for filing appeals about nomination papers is now shorter. Candidates have from early to mid January to submit these appeals, with a disposal deadline set for mid January. The national election and a constitutional referendum are still scheduled for the same date in February. Nomination papers are due soon, with a withdrawal deadline in late January. The official campaign period then starts, running until right before voting begins.
