My research topic is “the generational differences in views about the degree of rigging in local and national elections of Bangladesh.” Here the topic actually shows what the people of Bangladesh think about the voting system and also about the election process is fair or not. Vote rigging is common to all the people of Bangladesh. When it’s time for election there were vote rigging, collusion between political parties and violence happened. Two generations has their own different views about the matter. In my study I found the difference. Where my assumption was younger generations are more attached with technology on the other hand older generations are more experience about the matter. This study totally match with my hypothesis.
