EC to announce election results of 475 constituencies sooner than 60 days

[webfact]

 

The Election Commission (EC) is expected to announce the election results formally for 475 out of the 500 electoral constituencies (95% of the ballots cast) sooner than the 60-day deadline, so coalition parties will be able to form a government, EC Chairman Itthiporn Boonpracong said on Saturday.

 

He said that election officials have been examining the poll results from more than 95,000 polling stations across the country and are investigating more than 280 allegations of electoral irregularities, implicating more than 20 candidates who won the May 14th election.

 

He said that he understands that the coalition parties’ are keen for the EC to approve the election results quickly, so they can finalise the formation of a new government, but he explained that the EC has to comply with the law strictly in approving and officially announcing the final results.

Why the waiting game.... the delay in results is holding everyone back and industry wondering what's happening.

Why they need 30 odd (or up to 60) days to count out the votes (and not even all) is anyone's guess. Must be one of the slowest counts wordwide...
