PIROJPUR, Feb 11, 2026 (BSS) - All preparations have been completed to ensure free and fair voting in the three parliamentary constituencies of the district for the 13th national parliament election, officials said.

More than 8,000 members of law enforcement agencies will be deployed across the district to maintain security at 418 polling stations. In addition, 32 executive magistrates will be on duty to oversee election activities and ensure compliance with electoral laws.

According to district administration and election office sources, 140 of the 418 polling stations have been identified as important or risky. Authorities have arranged additional surveillance and security measures at these centers to prevent any untoward incidents.
