Support to the Voter Registration Process

Sweden, along with seven other donors and the Government of Bangladesh, provided support to the project “Preparation of an Electoral Roll with Photographs” which was implemented by the Bangladesh Election Commission. The project involved funds of approximately 80 MUSD, of which 1 MUSD (7 MSEK) was contributed by Sweden. The objective of this project was to fully establish technical requirements and infrastructure and to build capacity to enable the Bangladesh Election Commission to prepare a credible voter list for elections in 2008 and to maintain and update the nationwide list thereafter.
