On the first day, 6393 voters were registered.

The voter-listing works including data entry, taking photographs and fingerprints started on Saturday under the newly passed electoral law.

The chief adviser to caretaker government is to visit the tasks tomorrow.

"The process is going on in full sewing. Everyone is alert about his/her duties. There is great enthusiasm among the voters, especially among the female voters. Everyone is coming after dressing well for good photos," said the district election officer.

The new digitised system and security measurers in voter listing process have made the voters confident of free polling ahead, he added.

"In the general election held in 2001 and RCC election in 2003, I saw that my vote was cast before I went to the polling centres. But I am now confident that I will be able to cast my own vote in the upcoming election," said 64-year-old Mohammad Borjahan.

"My photo and fingerprints were taken. Nobody can copy my fingerprints and so I can hope that I will be able to vote this time," he said at the registration centre of the Teachers' Training College (TTC).

Borhajan's friend Gias Uddin too expressed his satisfaction.

"My vote was rigged in 1991. This time anyone trying to rig my vote will be caught in moments," he added.

"I have been a voter since 1965. I am now feeling proud as I am going to get a digitised identity card (through voter listing) as the citizen of the country," said Pir Majnur Rahman, a retired government official.

"The current voter listing system deserves appreciation as it is befitting with the computer era," he added.

However, Aminul Islam, the team leader at TTC centre, was very upset at the low turnout of voters.

"We made a list of only 81 voters in two days against our target of 2100 voters in eight days. People are not coming despite our repeated requests," he added.

Data Entry Operator (DEO) Samsuda Sultana was sitting idle at the centre at noon after enlisting only six voters in the morning.

The scene was a bit different at Golzarbagh Primary School centre at Guripara where the DEOs were very busy as people were waiting in long queues.

Sitara Begum, Abdul Malek and Hasan said they are happy after enrolling themselves as voter under the new system.

Talking to newsmen, DEO Abdul Halim said an elderly woman wearing a burqa was refusing to appear before the camera.

"We had to struggle hard to convince her," he added.

The presence of voters at Kashiadanga Government Primary School was also huge. But some machinery faults dragged down the pace of enrolling at the centre.

DEO Abdul Wahab was sitting idle with his shutdown laptop as the necessary software in his laptop was not working.

Moniruzzaman, another DEO at the centre, said he could enlist only six voters till 12:00noon against his targeted 60 voters due to machinery faults.
