The Chiang Rai Election Office has launched an investigation aimed to uncover why 1,200 villagers from two villates in Muang district refused to vote on Sunday, resulting in zero turnout at two polling stations.

 

"Not a single vote was cast in two polling stations located at Muang district's tambon Huay Chompoo," provincial election director Pongpan Riewthongthawee said on Thursday.

 

The office has summoned kamnan and village headmen to give their statements on the issue.

 

Talking to reporters after his testimony, kamnan Preecha Kanoknatkul said villagers acted on their own accord to boycott the vote.
