48-year-old man in Phayao arrested for tearing ballot in half
A 48-year-old man in Phayao was arrested for tearing a ballot in half out of misunderstanding that it had to be divided before it would be returned to the officials.
Suraphan Banchob said there was a dot line dividing the ballot and the two halves had different colours so he thought it was meant to be torn in half.
“I don't have intention make the ballot invalid or destroy it but it has dot line and the two halves have different colours so I thought I had to divide it along the line before dropping it in the box,” Suraphan said.
