Election at least 18 months away

Excellent news out of Dhaka. I like this statement from Brig. Gen. (Rtd.) Shakhawat Hossain, who is an election commissioner:

"It is a huge task and we want to do it the best way possible. The United Nations is helping us with consultants and financing of the huge project," he said, the AFP news agency reports.

We are taking time because we don't want to hold farcical elections."

Now lets do the voter list and ID the right way, and perhaps combine it with the National ID project instead of wasting more money on laminated paper IDs!
