Elections for the Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (CUCSU) and hall unions are being held today, after a 35-year gap. Voting is from 9 am to 4 pm, with results to be announced immediately after counting.

A total of 27,518 students, including 16,189 males and 11,329 females, are eligible to vote. There are 415 candidates competing for 26 CUCSU posts. Voting is taking place at 15 centres across five faculties, with additional provisions for differently-abled students.

Thirteen panels and several independent candidates are in the race, with 700 booths set up for the election. Security is tight, with about 1,700 personnel deployed to ensure a smooth process. The election was initially scheduled for October 12 but was rescheduled to October 15 following student requests.
