Dhaka, Sept. 11 -- After more than three decades, Jahangirnagar University is poised for a historic moment today as students head to the polls to elect representatives to the Jahangirnagar University Central Students' Union (JUCSU).

Voting, which begins at 9:00 a.m. and continues uninterrupted until 5:00 p.m., marks the first JUCSU election in 33 years. Elections will also be held for 21 individual hall unions on the same day.
