Ballot boxes fraud-proof: Somchai
Play
Election Commission member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn denied Wednesday that the new ballot boxes would lead to frauds, saying that they have a lid and can be locked.
“To open the lock, five officials stationed at the polling station must endorse their signature. If this lock is cut, the five officials must acknowledge it,’’ he said.
Responding to concerns that the new transparent plastic boxes might allow people to see ballots and results, he said no one could identify names on the papers once they are folded in the boxes.
