Warnings that voters should not use pens provided in voting booths, because the ink they contain will “disappear” allowing ballots to be re-marked, was dismissed as fake news by Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday.

 

The warning also suggested that voters use their own pens to mark their ballots in the general election this Sunday.
