Punching Without a Corner - Why That Number Matters Before Entering the Voting Booth

A major challenge on election day is the confusion between district representative and party list numbers, which are different and difficult to remember, especially for older voters. This is a problem in election design that makes voting complicated and can lead to mistaken votes! Before entering the voting booth, check the candidate numbers on the board and memorize them carefully. Party numbers are the same nationwide and easier to remember. Parties that get early single-digit numbers have an advantage, like the United Thai Nation party with number 6, Phol Mak party with number 7, and the Economic party with number 11. Pheu Thai party got number 9 this time, which is easy for people to remember and considered a lucky number. The top three most competitive parties are Pheu Thai (number 9), Bhumjaithai (number 37), and People's Party (number 46). In just a few moments, we'll know who comes in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd!
