EC expects a massive turnout

EC expects a massive turnout

SUPACHAI SOMCHAROEN, |the Election Commission |chairman, said yesterday |that the EC expects an 80-per-cent voter turnout at the |public referendum on the draft charter.

“Consider Myanmar for instance, where people were waiting for change, and as soon as the election was held a massive number came out to exercise their ballot. It will probably be the same in Thailand,” he said. 
Responding to the Constitution Drafting Commission’s proposal |that the interim charter be amended so that the commission can take part in disseminating the content, Supachai said it was understandable as the agency had written the draft and knew the content thoroughly. 
He also called on all sectors to desist from breaking the |law, saying comments on |the charter were allowed but |it was illegal to influence |anybody’s vote.
