18.5pc turnout till 12:10pm
The percentage of votes cast in the 12th parliamentary election till 12:10pm was 18.5 percent. Election Commission Secretary Jahangir Alam confirmed the information in a press briefing at the EC Secretariat on Sunday afternoon.
The voter turnout in most of the polling centres in Dhaka was seen to be low in the first two hours after the 12th national election began at 8:00am on Sunday.
Visiting several polling stations in Dhaka, our correspondents found a thin presence of voters. They reported that there were no queues outside the centres. However, the supporters and activists of aspirants were seen standing outside the voting centres.
Voters' number will increase after 12:00pm, hoped authorities concerned.
