Election Commission Tense Discussions on Ballot Design, Preparing for Re-Vote in 3 Polling Units

The Election Commission (EC) is continuing discussions about reprinting voting ballots for a re-vote scheduled on February 22nd, focusing on three specific polling units in Bangkok, Nan, and Udon Thani provinces. The commission is deliberating over the ballot design, including whether to maintain previous barcode and serial number formats, which could impact potential legal challenges regarding constitutional election procedures. Additionally, the EC is investigating irregularities, including discovery of voting sheets discarded in a garbage dump in Samut Prakan province, and may order re-counting in over 20 polling units due to discrepancies in voter participation numbers.
