To prevent conflict, the Election Commission urged setting up domestic voting things.
According to the Climate Change and Disaster Centre at Rangsit University, two winds are expected to hit Thailand next year, possibly having an impact on Election Day on May 14.
According to Seri Suparatit, director of the center, Cyclone Mocha is reportedly bringing heavy rain to the Bay of Bengal and another tropical depression is developing in the South China Sea not far from the Philippines.
Beginning on May 9, the two winds did begin to affect Thailand. However, he wrote in a Facebook article on Friday that storms will begin to form in the western, eastern, northern, and north regions starting on May 8 due to the heat and low-pressure bowl.
On Election Day on May 14, he claimed, there was a 30 % chance of thunderstorms, particularly in the South.
Election Day’s heavy rains may damage ballots, member information, polling places, and ballot boxes, as well as cause visitors to slow down.
He wrote,” We still have a week, so I would suggest the EC set up indoor areas to avoid any issues on Election Day.”
However, he added that a week of rain at the beginning of the rainy season would equally allay farmers’ concerns about dryness.
He suggested checking dams and channels for storing rain for later use after the rainy season ended, as well as accelerating the construction of water engagement areas by municipal operational organizations across the nation.
