How the Postal Ballot System Works
The process will be carried out through the Postal Vote BD App that voters will have to download first. Next, they will be required to create personal accounts, log in to their accounts, and add details like passport number and a selfie. Once these steps are completed, the voters will receive ballot papers that they have to drop at their nearest post box to be flown to their respective constituencies. Bangladeshi
