Four election commissioners Abdur Rahmanel Masud, Tahmida Ahmad, Anwarul Islam Sarker and Brig Gen (retd) Abul Fazal Sanaullah will be present in the discussion to be presided over by EC Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed.

National Voter Day was introduced in 2019 following a notification issued by the Cabinet Division on April 8 April, 2018.

But the cabinet on January 15, 2020 issued another notification to observe the day on March 2 every year instead of March 01, cancelling the previous notification.
