Lawyer Unn Files Evidence with Constitutional Court Over Barcode Issue, Reveals Data from Somchai and Dr. Ruibin Alleging Election Result Lock-In
Lawyer Unn submitted evidence to Thailand's Constitutional Court alleging that ballot barcodes and QR codes were deliberately designed to enable election result manipulation, citing data from a former Election Commissioner and data science
Lawyer Pattrapong Supakson, known as Lawyer Unn from Buriram, submitted evidence documents to the Constitutional Court on May 25, 2569, regarding the barcode issue on ballots. He had received notice from the court requesting written statements on five specified points to be submitted within 15 days.
As a petitioner under Constitutional Article 213, Unn submitted evidence documents asking the court to rule whether the Election Commission's creation of ballots with QR codes and barcodes complies with the Constitution and law. He emphasized that his submission included not just personal opinions but also hundreds of pages of data and facts from Somchai Srisuthiyakorn, former Election Commissioner, and information from Thammathip Sukochirat (Dr. Ruibin), a data science expert, whom he considers authorities on the subject.
Unn also noted several concerning observations: before Election Day, there was an unusually large-scale transfer of provincial governors. Additionally, ballots were printed at the Volunteer State Defense Printing House, and the behavior of election unit committee members (who control ballot origins and voter information) raised questions. He also mentioned the practice of voters memorizing the last three digits of ballot numbers to verify their identity in photographs taken during voting, which could enable traceability.
Unn expressed confidence that clarity would emerge within this week or next regarding whether the court would issue a ruling or request additional documents and witness testimony. He offered himself as an expert witness for the petitioner's side to counter evidence from the Election Commission, previously presented by witnesses including Natthawut Wongnirun and others. Unn stressed that the ballot issue is not confidential and the presence of barcodes and QR codes is certainly no accident, but rather something deliberately prepared in advance.
"I believe we should have clarity within this week or next on whether the Constitutional Court will issue a ruling in this case, request additional documents, or schedule witness testimony from both sides. I'm confident this matter will be resolved soon," Unn stated.
