DHAKA, Aug 21, 2025 (BSS)- Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin has stressed the urgent need to combat disinformation.

"The Election Commission (EC) has officially launched its YouTube channel aiming to reach right information to the public," he said.

Speaking at the inauguration today, the CEC said the platform will provide clear and reliable information on voter registration, election schedule, candidate guidelines, voter responsibilities and other essential instructions.

He emphasized the EC’s goal of increasing participation of women, youth, physically challenged persons and marginalized communities, saying, “We want to ensure every citizen is involved in the democratization of the country.”
