Nakhon Ratchasima Deputy Governor Defends Election Commission over Ballot Barcodes

Nakhon Ratchasima Deputy Governor Defends Election Commission over Ballot Barcodes
The deputy governor argues that barcodes and QR codes on election ballots are no different from national ID numbers. He emphasizes that ballot secrecy means no one can know how an individual voted, except in cases of official corruption. He points out that the voting system prevents casual access to voter information and that any attempt to reveal individual votes would require a systematic, complex process. Using lottery tickets as a comparison, he suggests that barcodes are a standard identification method that does not inherently compromise voting privacy.
