Play
The Election Commission resolved Friday to hold new voting for advanced voting and for 10,284 polling stations that were blocked by protesters, EC commissioner Somchai Srisuthiyakorn said.
Somchai said new voting would be held for the polling stations in seven provinces, where protesters blocked the ballot casting on February 2. The seven provinces are Rayong, Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani, Satun, Phetchaburi, and Prachuap.
The EC also resolved to organise new voting for advance and absentee voting in 83 constituencies in 15 provinces, which were blocked by protesters on January 26.
He said voting at the polling stations where voting had taken place and were later disrupted by protesters would not be held again. The EC would instead count the already-cast ballots, he said.
