krisb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The Senate (Thai: วุฒิสภา; RTGS: Wutthisapha; formerly known as Phruetthasapha or "พฤฒสภา") is the upper house of the National Assembly of Thailand, (Thailand's legislative branch). In accordance with the 2007 Constitution of Thailand, the Senate is a non-partisan legislative chamber, composed of 150 members. 76 Senators are directly elected from the 75 Provinces of Thailand and Bangkok, while the other 74 are appointed from various sectors by the Senate Selection Committee. The Senate operates under fixed terms of six years. Elections[edit]Out of the 150 Senators, 77 are directly elected from the 76 Provinces of Thailand plus 1 Metropolitan district (Bangkok). These members are elected using the First Past the Post electoral system. The election is a one-man-one vote, secret ballot vote in which a province is counted as a single representative constituency. Multiple candidates may apply, however, all must be non-partisan candidates and cannot have any connection to a political party. See most recent election at: Thai Senate election, 2008 Selection[edit]The remaining 73 members are to be selected by a Senators Selection Committee. The Committee is established in Section 113, Part 3 and Chapter 6 of the Constitution. The Committee is composed of: President of the Constitutional Court Chairman of the Election Commission Chairman of the State Audit Commission A Judge in the Supreme Court of Justice holding office not lower in rank than Judge of the Supreme Court of Justice as entrusted by the general assembly of the Supreme Court of Justice. A Judge of the Supreme Administrative Court as entrusted by the general assembly of judges of the Supreme Administrative Court. Within themselves they must elect a Chairman who will preside over the committee. The Committee will select members of the Senate based on 5 categories of profession: The Academic Sector The Public Sector The Private Sector The Professional Sector And Others The Constitution states that: “In the selection of persons [for the Senate], particular regard shall be had to the knowledge, expertise or experience beneficial to the performance of duties of senators, and regard shall also be had to factors in relation to persons with varying knowledge and capability in varying fields, sexual opportunities and equality, a close proportion of persons in each sector…, and the provision of opportunities to the socially underprivileged persons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominique355 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 A minor inconsistency here. How many provinces are there? 75 or 76 (plus Bangkok BMA) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
