webfact Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 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.

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 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candide Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 They ordered recount or new elections in a few polling station to pretend they do something.

rkidlad Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nong38 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 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.
