The election to the Kishoreganj-1 Parliamentary Constituency, which fell vacant following the death of Awami League leader Syed Ashraful Islam will be held on February 28.
Election Commission Secretary Helal Uddin Ahmed announced the election schedule while briefing reporters after a meeting at the Nirbachon Bhaban on Tuesday evening.
The aspirants for the Kishoreganj-1 Parliamentary Constituency can submit their nomination papers until Janurary 31.
The deadline for nomination withdrawal is February 10, while the EC will scrutinise the papers on February 3.
The Commission is organising a general election, not by-polls to the seat, as Syed Ashraf could not take oath, Secretary Helal clarified.
The candidates who contested for the seat in the December 30 elections can submit nomination papers again, he said.
