The new electoral register was more robust than in many Western countries, with a photo ID picture alongside each elector. The violence that had been widespread in previous Bangladeshi elections was entirely absent, with the security services’ professionalism in policing the elections – and the army’s willingness to return voluntarily to its barracks – playing a key role.
新的选举登记表要比许多西方国家更严格，上面有每名选民带照片的身份证。在以往孟加拉国选举中泛滥的暴力事件此次完全没有出现，专业的安全服务为选举保驾护航-以及军队自愿返回军营-也发挥了关键作用。
