A total of 4,42,072 people are scheduled to exercise their franchise in the election. Of them, 2,21,310 are men and 2,20, 762 women.

The Rangpur-3 fell vacant after the death of Leader of the Opposition and Jatiya Party Chairman Hussain Muhammad Ershad, who passed away at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in the capital on July 14 while undergoing treatment.

The EC has a constitutional obligation to complete the by-polls within 90 days after it fell vacant.
