Flashermac Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 MP candidates can now register via mail or the Internet, as the Election Commission seeks ways to avoid disruptions and blockades by protesters that eventually scuttled the February 2 election. The EC has amended the election law to facilitate MP candidates and ensure smooth and successful registration. The changes were published in the Royal Thai Gazette yesterday. The amendment to Article 74/1 of the election law allows the EC - in case of riots, floods, fires, force majeure or necessity - to order candidacy registration to be held at any particular area it believes can lead to successful processing. It also allows MP hopefuls to send their application for candidacy through express registered mail operated by the state or a private entity or through online channels in accordance with directives and regulations issued by the EC. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/EC-allows-MP-candidates-to-register-online-or-by-m-30233756.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robaus Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well, that’s a start to running a valid election. Makes the yellow shirt thugs’ job easier...all they have to do now is beat up and intimidate decent Thai citizens who simply want to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
