With only two weeks to go before the Bangkok gubernatorial and councillor elections on Sunday May 22nd, the Election Commission is to launch a city-wide campaign tomorrow (Monday) to urge Bangkok’s voters to go to the polls.

 

The launch event will be held at City Hall, after which a convoy of trucks, equipped with loudspeakers, will tour the streets of Bangkok’s 50 districts to drive home the message that the electorate should exercise its voting right, the first time in nine years for the Bangkok governor and 12 years for the councillors. The campaign will continue until one day before the election.

Meanwhile, Samran Tanpanich, director of the Bangkok elections, warned candidates not to do anything beyond the permissible legal limits regarding election spending, authorities and duties.
