Reserve Senator Files Complaint with Constitutional Court to Nullify Election Over Ballot QR Code Issue
On February 19, 2569, Akkrawat Pongthanacholitkul, a reserve senator, filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commissioner seeking justice regarding the Election Commission's (EC) handling of the general election. He argues that the EC failed to conduct a transparent and fair election by adding QR codes and barcodes to voting ballots, which violates constitutional principles of secret voting. Akkrawat claims these markings make ballots invalid and unacceptable for vote counting, potentially compromising the entire election's legal legitimacy.
