Election Commission secretary green-lights 'Tanathorne' campaign to apply for People's Senate, says no changes will be accepted. They insisted that measures should be taken to prevent corruption across the country as the constitution provides against the system of electing senators.
On May 2, 2024, Mr.Sawang Panmee General Secretary, Election Commission (Election Commission) indicates a case that resists the formElect a Senator Will EC use it for improvement or not? Because it depends on the constitution. The Constitution (Act) determines what the Election Commission can do, not the Election Commission. As regards people who have no right to vote or the format of the election is as per law, the Election Commission cannot fix anything definitively. Introduction Part This comes from the frame. We are not breaking the law, introduce yourself to voters. The applicants themselves came out with the terms like this.
Mr. Sawang added that even though senators are not directly elected by the people, at the end of the day, we know the importance of the people. But it is representative of Thai people. The public has the right to follow, scrutinize and monitor the applications after they are completed, as they are required to perform their duties instead. Because the names could not be disclosed at the time of application because there would be vested interests among various groups. We will take the applicant's name. All senators enter the Smart Vote application and are placed on the Election Commission's website, where the public can access the entire list. PERSONAL RECORD WORK HISTORY Each senatorial candidate and experience of senatorial candidates can communicate with each other through various channels in Form Sor.3 so that they can introduce themselves within the group or across groups.
Regarding the number of applicants, Mr. Sawang said: Currently, it is not known how many people there are. But at the provincial level, there will be 55,000 people with information on each occupational group. Nationally people can follow at all times. And on the exam day, we will broadcast CCTV from all locations. From allowing candidates to sit and wait to vote. This allows the media and the public to observe what is inside at all times. At the district level, all 928 districts, at the provincial level, 77 provinces, and at the national level. It is expected to be another one in Muang Thong Thani
Mr. Savang added that he believes the system is sufficient to provide both the public and applicants with information to consider when choosing between candidates. As some applicants have now declared their application, this is not illegal. Initiations and invitations may be made. The Election Commission has also called for a claim to be an eligible person. Emphasizing that there are no restricted characteristics and being an experienced member of the applying team is no barrier to doing this.
Regarding the case, Mr.Thanathorn Juangroongruangit ChairmanFaculty of Advancement Mr. came out to call those who applied for the Senate. Sawang said that he had already answered and whoever did, Mr. A. and Mr. B. He also said that he can do this.
When asked about this case, Mr.Parit Vatsarasindu List of MPs and SpokespersonsProgress Party He came out saying that there is still no clarity. Regarding notification date and time frame, Mr. Sawang said the Senate's time is not the same as that of a Member of Parliament, which should be determined. Within how many days should the election be held? How long does each process take? It has time not more than 60 days in total.
Applicants may disclose information, including their history or self-identification, when asked if a warrant has been issued. Mr. can do this electronically or in terms of social media introducing himself. But you can only introduce yourself to applicants. This is because the Constitution allows candidates to choose among themselves. He should introduce himself.
Ask about media practices. It should also be deleted in the interview section and introduce the candidate earlier. Or hide the content or not? From what we gather from both the behavior of the group of people who are considering applying we look at the media, there is nothing illegal, defamatory or sensual.
Talking about the media, Secretary General of Election Commission self-introduction rules apply only to candidates. This does not apply to the media. So the media can report, present, analyze, give opinions, organize a forum or do anything else. But be careful with other laws. It may insult the applicant and if it is true, there is no bar.
Asked what measures the Election Commission has in place to prevent corruption or embezzlement, Mr. Sawang said the legal system was already designed to prevent demonetisation. We have activities in every area. But that's not to say people don't think about it. The number of applicants is approximately 400,000. But in reality, once the industry is divided into groups and selected, only a few remain in the industry. The measures to prevent malpractice come in two forms, namely vote exchange, and the Election Commission will have measures to deal with whether candidates are working on the ground or underground. and taking the candidates to choose the person who would be the inaugural senator, that is, they did not apply to become a senator. Senators vote to elect senators, these things can happen and the Election Commission is not complacent.
