NLA ready to redefine ‘majority vote’, awaits govt order

The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) is awaiting an order from the government whether to amend the interim charter and define majority vote to mean the majority of voters who turn up to cast their ballots in a public referendum, NLA president Pornpetch

He said an amendment is needed to prevent an interpretation that majority stands for majority of eligible voters, because if that was the case it would require a greater number of voters in the referendum to determine whether the people had accepted the charter draft.
