PHUKET:-- The cost of holding the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organisation (PPAO, or OrBorJor) election on Dec 20 will be double what is normally required due to the COVID-19 ‘New Normal’ social-distancing requirements.

 

More polling stations will be added to reduce congestion of voters under the COVID-19 ‘New Normal’ measures, PPAO Acting Chief Watcharin Patomwatthanapong announced yesterday (Nov 24).

 

The PPAO elections to be held throughout the country on Dec 20 will be the first local elections held in Thailand for eight years, since the National Council for Peace Order (NCPO), headed by Army General Prayut Chan-o-cha, took control of the country in May 2014, he said.
