The Election Commission decided today that results of 12th National Election from remote places such as hill tract districts or coastal areas can be delivered to authorities via WhatsApp.
The decision was made to prepare the unofficial election results in an efficient way.
The EC today issued a letter in this regard. It was sent to all returning officers.
"Polling items including the result sheets from some areas might be late to reach the returning or assistant returning officers," reads the notice signed by Md Atiar Rahman, deputy secretary at the EC.
In order to prevent this, concerned election officers can send the polling results to the EC via their verified WhatsApp number, add the letter.
