Action Against Anti-Voting Campaign: EC Anisur

If any such leaflets are distributed to discourage voters from going to polling stations, action will be taken on sight, Election Commissioner Anisur Rahman said on Saturday (December 23).

"Some [voters] may not come [to polling stations] to cast their votes. No one has the right to resist voting. But if they resist others, we have now brought an amendment to jail them for up to seven years or impose fines," he told reporters at Agargaon's Nirbachon Bhaban. 

"We [Election Commission] have told all police and magistrates that we will take appropriate action so that there is no disruption," he added.
