Election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn on Monday said the Election Commission (EC) will neither relocate the election registration venue nor extend the registration period of party-list candidates, scheduled for December 23-27 at the stadium. The anti-government protesters besieged the Thai-Japanese Sports Stadium on the first day of the registration.
He said the process of the registration has yet to be completed. With documents remaining unchecked, the EC members cannot undersign the registration, and the political parties have yet to pay the application fees.
He added the EC will not hold the drawing of lots to distribute party-list candidacy numbers today.
