THE ELECTION COMMISSION has been still waiting for the Ministry of Interior to rearrange the country’s 400 electoral constituencies so that the polling agency could promptly proceed with preparations for the next general election, said a senior official today (Dec.21).

 

Election Commission secretary-general Sawaeng Boonmee confirmed his agency cannot do much at the moment about electoral preparations in any constituencies nationwide whilst the Ministry of Interior will have rearranged them all by January 10 at the latest.

 

The next general election for MPs will be contested in 400 individual constituencies throughout the country, compared to 350 constituencies provided in a previous one, thus calling for the rearrangement in corresponding proportion to 400 constituency-based MPs. In addition, another 100 party-listed MPs will be simultaneously elected on a separate voting ballot to make a total of 500 MPs.
