Dhaka, April 30 -- Voting has begun on the second and last day of the Dhaka Bar Association election.

The voting, which began at 9am on Thursday, will continue until 5pm. There will be a one-hour pause in voting during the day, said Chief Election Commissioner Md Borhan Uddin.

Out of 20,785 lawyers, 2,759 voted on the first day of the polls on Wednesday.

Under Borhan's leadership, 10 commissioners and 100 members are working to ensure the smooth conduct of the elections.
