Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Dr ATM Shamsul Huda yesterday said there was no possibility of disruption in election roadmap or holding election by December this year since the Commission has enough alternative to address complexities.

"The election will be held in accordance with the roadmap. It will not be deferred under any circumstances. There is no possibility to defer it even if any case is filed," he said while talking to reporters after registering himself and his wife as voters at Gulshan Model School and College centre in the city.

Dr Shamsul Huda categorically said the voter list is going to be a complete one this time and there will be no scope of raising a question on it.

"Our goal is to hold a free and fair election in the country using a flawless voter list," he said.

Replying to a question the CEC said the voter list will be preserved through database, which cannot be destroyed.

He informed that on an average about one crore people are becoming voters in a month.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Regulatory Reforms Commission and former Adviser of the Caretaker Government Akbar Ali Khan who also registered his name as voter at the same centre told reporters that the general election should be held within 90 days of the completion of the voter list.

He said voter lists with photos are the only method suitable for today and one can ensure a foolproof voter list using the process.
