Officials: Partially Spoiled Ballots Still Count in Vote
Officials said that ballots marked for revoked candidates are considered partially spoiled but still count for other valid choices in the Social Security Board election. The clarification came after voting closed at the Telecommunications Center in Nonthaburi on 11 October 2026, with around 20 observers watching the count across 33 polling units. Only votes for candidates whose names remain on the list are included in the final tally.
Officials explain that in the Social Security Board election, 'partially spoiled ballots' are still counted as votes, except for those cast for candidates whose names have been revoked. The counting took place on 11 October 2026 at 16:00 at the Telecommunications Center in Nonthaburi, with about 20 observers monitoring 33 polling units. During the count, officials displayed the list of revoked candidate numbers (27, 29, 34, 37, 45, 61, 95, and 110) and clarified that only votes for non‑revoked candidates on these ballots would be tallied.
