Six polling stations in five provinces are ready for Sunday’s poll reruns, which were ordered by the election regulator after discovering that voter turnout and the number of marked ballots at these stations did not match.
The revote is to be carried out at the 32nd polling station of Bang Kapi district’s Constituency 13 in Bangkok; the 12th polling station of Khao Kho district’s Constituency 1 in Phetchabun; the sixth polling station of Phrom Phiram district’s Constituency 2 in Phitsanulok; the sixth polling station of Maha Chana Chai district Constituency 2 in Yasothon; and the 3rd as well as the 6th polling stations of Ko Kha district’s Constituency 4 in Lampang.
Several election commissioners plan to visit the six polling stations on Sunday. Election Commission (EC) chairman Ittiporn Boonpracong plans to visit Yasothon to observe the re-vote there, while fellow commissioner, Thawatchai Thoetphaothai, plans to inspect the rerun in Phitsanulok. Meanwhile, other commissioners will visit other provinces.
A new poll committee is in charge of Sunday’s revote in Phitsanulok, although results of the revote in the province’s only polling station is unlikely to change unofficial results of the March 24 poll in the entire Constituency 2 of Phrom Phiram district.
In Constituency 2, electioneering was as intense on Saturday as during the March 24 polls. Campaign posters were seen scattered around the constituency, while campaign vehicles of key candidates plied the roads in Laem Lat village.
Tambon Khek Noi in Khao Kho district of Phetchabun, on the other hand, was rather quiet.
