JUCSU Election: Vote Counting Completed in 14 Halls

Bongo Darpan, Online: In the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) election, vote counting for the hall unions has been completed in 14 halls. The Election Commission office confirmed this information around 11 am on Friday.Out of the university’s total 21 halls, counting has so far been completed in 14, while it is still ongoing in the remaining 7 halls. Voting was held on Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm. Although the counting was supposed to be conducted through the OMR system, objections from several panels have led to manual counting instead. As a result, the announcement of results has been delayed.Teachers involved in the election have said that all hall union results are likely to be finalized by noon. After that, the counting for the central union will begin. However, due to the manual process, the central union results may not be available until after evening.Meanwhile, the election process has been overshadowed by grief as one polling officer fell ill and passed away during the long counting process.
