Recounts, new elections ordered in eight polling stations

By The Nation 

 

 

The Election Commission (EC) decided on Wednesday that two polling stations should recount their ballots while six others should re-conduct a new election due to discrepancies in the number of ballots.

 

The two polling stations that had been ordered to count the ballots again both were in Nam Pong District in Khon Kaen province. The poll results they gave did not match the number of the voter turnout, the agency reported.

 

Six other stations that will hold a second by-election were in Lampang, Yasothorn, Petchaboon, Phitsanulok, and Bangkok. Two polling stations are involved in Lampang.

 

The EC said the number of the ballots used did not match the numbers of the voter turnout in these six stations.

 

The same candidates are allowed to re-run in the election, according to the EC.

 

The agency expected the vote would be held after the Thai New Year though it was close to May 9 - the date when the final election results must be endorsed and announced.

 

The development came after Thailand held a general election last month in over 92,000 polling stations across the country.

FFP didn't win those seats by any chance did they?

EC "appearing" to be honest, desperate to avoid being sacked

Exactly, typical dumb Thai article that addresses almost none of the obvious questions. 

 

What stations, and what were the initial results of each? 

 

Country overflowing with hopeless people. I'm going for my coffee. Boring

Are these polling stations fortuitously ones where the opposition parties have won?

No need to. Thais living abroad porbably would not have voted for Cheat-Ocha

A new "old way" of delay and preparation for gun point polling stations

No way, they are branded by the army general as renegades

Good point. I'm waiting for a substantial report of what happened with the NZ votes.

 

From what's already been revealed in the media it seems to me that several agencies / officials need to be charged with dereliction of duty and punished severely.

It's certainly disapointing that Thailand wants to be wanted in the International arena, but can't even put together an honest election

They ordered recount or new elections in a few polling station to pretend they do something. The rigging is much more widespread than in a few stations which will have no impact on the election results.

[Eric Loh]

Who pay for the new elections due to EC's incompetency. Tax payers or the EC?

Are they going to station soldiers on each booth to ensure gun pointing behind each and every voter's back>

OK, realize what you mean and your possibly correct.

What will happen next. Let's say the junta dissolve another party. They put in their own 250 senators and buy more politicians so their parties join them, and then they form their own government completely unfairly (and illegally) - what will the west do? Just say okay?

Taxpayers fund the EC budget through the NLA.

Lose-lose.

Shades of the EU if you voted the wrong way, it is not the EC that is incompetent its the people at the polling stations and counting houses, the EC is above reproach, or so it seems.

Has it been determined how the seats will be allocated yet? The public should have been informed long before the election so they could see that developments were fair and just and not likely to be manipulated, yes I know its a big word but anyone can look in a dictionary and see what it means and then understand the process.
