Wissanu said he had clarified this point during a forum on the referendum law held by the Election Commission.
The deputy prime minister said a person could also say why he or she supported each Article in the draft but one was not allowed to persuade people not to cast the ballot or to vote either way.
Wissanu said the prime minister would invoke Article 44 of the Interim Charter 2014 to issue orders for controlling the situation if there were fighting and chaos during the public referendum.
Prayut may also invoke the all-purpose article if the Constitutional Court rules that Clause 2 of Article 61 violated Article 4 of the interim charter, which guarantees people’s rights and liberties.
