The Election Commission Secretariat has received the voter list for the presidential election, supplied by the Parliament Secretariat after the commission requested it.
EC officials said the next step is announcing the election schedule, but no polling date has been finalized.
President Md. Sahabuddin resigned on 24 July.
Under the applicable rules, a new president must be elected within 90 days of the resignation.
On 26 July, the EC met Acting Speaker of Parliament Kaisar Kamal to discuss the election and asked for the voter list.
The commission received the list on Thursday, and officials said the EC would make an announcement on the matter at midday.
Only members of parliament take part in the vote, so the voter list is based on the list of lawmakers.
