The Election Commission says all yesterday’s ballots are secure. They’ve told a suspicious media that they, and members of political parties, are allowed to check the security of yesterday’s paper ballots at Thai Post offices and police stations around the country where they are being stored before heading to Thailand Post’s HQ in Bangkok today.

 

The EC claims that, following the closure of polling stations around the country in yesterday’s pre-election ballot at 5pm, the ballots were sealed in boxes and signed by local EC officials.

 

The EC, trying to allay fears from voters, candidates and the media, say the procedure is exactly the same as in the past. They say by sending them to Bangkok as soon as possible will prevent any local issues with the security of the ballots.

Which means nothing. That doesn't make them secure in a country where corruption is the order of the day. Many government officials would sell their mother at the first opportunity if they thought they could make some money.

   Ballots are safe and secure, they are being kept at police stations.

Don't worry, everything is totally safe, the ballots are put in the boxes by each individual person and will for sure not be opened
