Since the independence of Bangladesh, the presidential election process has been changed several times due to both the presidential and parliamentary arrangements.[1] According to the Second Schedule to the Constitution of 1972, the president of the parliament used to be elected by a secret vote.[1][2] Later, according to the fourth amendment to the constitution, the provision of the direct election system of presidential election was introduced.[1] But soon after 12th Amendment to the Constitution, the provision of presidential elections through an indirect election was introduced after the parliamentary system was installed.[1] At present, the president is elected by an indirect election by the members of parliament as per Article 48 of the Constitution.[1][3]
