EC checks poll preparations

Somsak, who oversees the Political Party Affairs and Referendum Bureau, and officials inspected polling stations in San Kamphaeng and Doi Saket districts and Mae On subdistrict.
Since online registration was required for absentee voting, he predicted that up to 90 per cent of 490 eligible voters in Constituency 3 would show up and cast ballots.
At the sites, some voters had not pre-registered and were asked to come back on July 2.
Somsak expressed confidence about attendance for the July 2 by-election.
Considering the awareness of people from the publicity for local elections to select the president of the Provincial Administration Organisation and PAO councillors around the same time, the turnout could reach about 70 per cent, he said.
