EC orders recounting of ballots at 47 polling stations
Vote ballots will be recounted in 16 provinces across Thailand, the Election Commission (EC) said in a press release on Thursday.
The EC has ordered a recount of ballots at 47 polling stations as the total vote counts did not match the voter turnout numbers in the May 14 general election.
Of the 47 stations, 16 have been ordered to recount the ballots for constituency MPs, while 31 stations must recount the ballots for party-list MPs. Voting was held at 95,000 polling stations nationwide.
