It was the first major election in Bangladesh conducted entirely using electronic voting machines (EVMs) alongside the 2020 Dhaka South City Corporation election. Previously the country had made only limited use of EVMs. The ruling Awami League supported the adoption of EVMs. BNP and Communist Party of Bangladesh leaders said they feared the machines would be used for vote rigging. One concern expressed was that the machines do not have a voter-verified paper audit trail.[2][3]
