Judges' poll fails to fill EC job
Play
The Supreme Court is expected to convene the next round of voting at a later date after Wednesday's meeting failed to nominate a candidate for the Election Commission.
Under relevant laws, the high court is empowered to name two candidates from among its judges to become applicants for the EC job.
Last month the court successfully conducted a peer vote to pick senior judge Suphachai Somcharoen as one of two candidates.
But none of the other five aspiring nominees could muster the support of a simple majority to become the second candidate.
