NONTHABURI- On Wednesday, the last round of the Senate election was held, and the chair of the Election Commission anticipated the release of the names of all 200 senators-electives by later this night.
The 2, 995 candidates elected earlier at the municipal levels were required to show up at the place, the Impact Forum building in Nonthaburi, by 9am on Wednesday.
Six people missed the deadline, and 2, 989 did not. They may now cast ballots for their favorite candidates in the morning and afternoon election.
At Impact Forum on Wednesday night, EC president Ittiporn Boonpracong stated that it was possible that the election process would be over by 5 or 6 pm on Wednesday.
Additionally, Mr. Ittiporn claimed that election officials were on the lookout for any voter rigging and that they would observe prospects wherever they went to the bathroom.
The new Senate will have 200 representatives from 20 different occupations, replacing the 250 coup-appointed lawmakers whose terms ended on May 10 and whose terms ended in May.
The candidates voted in sequence, starting with intra-professional organizations and moving up to district-level intergroups.
Candidates who won the district-level elections and received strong candidates from numerous industries continued to cast inter-group ballots at the provincial and national rates.
On June 9, the district-level intra- and provincial-level elections took place, with the municipal elections taking place on June 16.
Unlike their predecessors, new legislators will not be empowered to appoint a prime minister. They will continue to participate in the act of rules and the law as well as the passage of legislation. Moreover, senators will , assign independent organisations and test the efficiency of the executive government.
