Voters in Bangladesh will participate in parliamentary elections on February 12, following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after a violent crackdown on protests in 2024 that resulted in 1,400 deaths. With 127 million registered voters, this election features postal voting for overseas workers and will use a first-past-the-post system to elect 300 members of the Jatiyo Shangsad. The elections come amid significant political tension and will also include a referendum on constitutional changes. Experts suggest the outcome will significantly impact Bangladesh’s political future, especially regarding the banned Awami League party.
