The voter turnout in the national election stood at 59.44 percent, the Election Commission (EC) said on Friday.
The information was shared around 11:30am by the Director of Public Relations wing of the Election Commission Md Ruhul Amin Mallik.
On Thursday night, the commission explained that since postal ballots were added in most constituencies, there was a possibility of error in providing immediate statistics.
The commission said it decided to disclose the turnout rate only after completing the counting process to ensure accuracy, reports UNB.
