Low Turnout at Local Elections

[MangoKorat]

A Thai friend who is officiating at her local polling station tells me that voter turnout today is very low.  Local/Provincial elections regularly have low turnouts but she says that so far, this is the lowest she's seen.

 

Considering what happened in the General Election, if this turnout is a reflected in other areas, who could blame voters for being apathetic.

When came back from shopping today and put on 3BB TV - all the channels were showing but when you picked one - nothing - is that another election day paradigm in Thailand and do the powers that be really think either one has an impact on turnout

There'll be plenty of Lao Khao around - they'll have been wrecked since 7am.
