At the Mirpur Glory School polling station, 8 per cent of voters had cast their ballots in the first one and a half hours.

In the Dhaka-15 constituency, early voting patterns on Thursday morning indicate a relatively modest turnout, with long queues of voters observed at several polling stations from the first hour of polling.

At the Glory School and College polling centre, designated for female voters (Ward 2), officials reported that voting began promptly at 7:30 a.m., in line with the official schedule. Despite the early start, the number of voters casting their ballots remains low.

According to the presiding officer at the centre, a total of 2,834 registered voters are assigned here. By approximately 9:00 a.m., just 170 ballots had been cast, reflecting an early turnout rate of roughly 8 per cent. The officer confirmed that voting has proceeded smoothly, without any disruptions or technical issues, and urged voters not to delay in exercising their franchise.

“The process is running normally,” the presiding officer stated. “We have already recorded 170 votes this morning, but there is still ample time for more voters to come and cast their ballots.”

Observers at the site noted that, while the morning hours typically see lower participation, voter enthusiasm may increase as the day progresses. The relatively low initial turnout has prompted some political analysts to suggest that many residents may prefer to vote later in the day, or that awareness campaigns did not fully reach all eligible voters in this area.

Early Voting Summary – Glory School & College (Female Ward 2):

Across Dhaka-15, similar patterns have been reported, with other polling centres recording modest early turnout but smooth operational management. Election officials have emphasised that no technical problems or complaints have been reported so far, ensuring that the voting process remains orderly and transparent.

As polling continues throughout the day, authorities anticipate an increase in participation, particularly during the mid-morning and late afternoon periods, which historically attract larger crowds. Voters are encouraged to visit their assigned centres before the official closing time to ensure their voices are counted in the highly anticipated Dhaka-15 election.
