Election Commissioners of Bangladesh (Bengali: বাংলাদেশের নির্বাচন কমিশনার), publicly referred to as EC, are members of Bangladesh Election Commission, who are bestowed upon the responsibility to arrange and oversee the conduct of free and fair national and regional elections, empowered by the commission.
Article 118 of the Bangladeshi constitution instructs the state to organise an independent agency, which will be free of political and government influences, consisting of one Chief Election Commissioner and four more assisting Election Commissioners with direct approval of the state president.
