"I think most people, even the literate, will not show interest in registering in this way," the law minister told the reporters at his office explaining the financial conditions of people and barriers to communications at district and upazila levels.

The EC on June 12 decided that its officials will not visit door-to-door to enrol the eligible voters, rather the people will have to come to the offices of the election commission at district and upazila levels to register their names. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) MA Aziz on Monday confirmed the EC decision again.

The law minister, however, said that door-to-door visits are possible if the EC has good wishes, adding that there is no legal bar or strategic problem in doing so.

"It is a matter of the Election Commission whether or not it will visit door-to-door to revise the voter list. We, however, hope a flawless voter list will be prepared in accordance with the court's verdict," he said.

Asked about cutting out the names of the deceased people from the existing voter list, Moudud wondered whether anybody will apply for removal of a dead voter's name from the roll.

About the opposition's demand for the CEC's resignation, the law minister said it is a democratic right to demand the CEC's resignation. "But it depends on the chief election commissioner whether he will resign or not. We have nothing to do in this regard."
