The official results of the 13th National Parliamentary Election and the referendum are available on the Smart Election Management BD app, authorities said. Voting took place yesterday from 7:30am to 3:30pm across Bangladesh. In some constituencies, polling continued until 5:00pm.
After voting ended, people across the country waited for the results. During that time, a third-party website named Election Watch BD published election results. Most of the figures on the site were incorrect.
The inaccurate results spread quickly on Facebook. Many users shared the information within minutes. The posts caused confusion among voters and supporters in several areas.
A short time later, the Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) blocked the website. Officials said the site was sharing incorrect election data. They urged the public to rely only on official sources for verified information.
Authorities confirmed that all official results can be viewed on the Smart Election Management BD app. The app provides constituency-wise results. It also includes voter lists and polling centre information.
Officials stressed that only results released through the official system should be considered accurate. They did not provide further details about the third-party website.
The move to block the site came amid high public interest in the election outcome. The 13th National Parliamentary Election and the referendum drew nationwide attention, with voters closely following updates after polls closed.
Election authorities advised citizens to check the Smart Election Management BD app for confirmed results and related information. They said updates would continue to be published there as counting and verification processes are completed.
