BANGKOK: -- THE DRAFT organic law on the Election Commission released by the Constitution Drafting Commission (CDC) yesterday will wipe out provincial election committee and impose new qualifications on commissioners.

 

If any of the five current commissioners fails to meet the new qualifications, he would need to vacate his office within 15 days after the law comes into effect, according to the draft.

 

The provincial election committee will be replaced by seven ad-hoc election inspectors, two of whom are native to the constituency and the remainder from other provinces. Their tenure of office covers only an election period.

Further consolidation of elections under national control and the current administration.

Starting to look more like the neighboring Vietnam and China election systems.

Why not just have done with it and hold single candidate elections?
