In Bangladesh, EVM was first used partially in Chittagong CityCorporation (ChCC) election in 2010 and then in Narayanganj City Corporation(NCC) election in 2011. At the beginning of 2012 this technology was used fullyin Comilla City Corporation (CCC) election and in Narshingdy Municipalelection, but again partially in Rangpur City Corporation election (RCC) at theend of 2012. Based on the above- mentioned experience, Election Commission ofBangladesh (ECB) and the present government would like to use electronic votingmachine (EVM) increasingly for any local election in hopes of introducing it inthe national election (likely to be held in 2014).
