The next Senate election will be held on May 20 through May 24. The Election Commission (EC ) announced on Monday that the deadline to apply for a seat has been set. The in- and cross-professional party primaries may follow from June 9 to June 26.
The announcement came after a imperial order stating that the latest batch of coup-appointed senators would be elected on Saturday, the day their terms were announced.
On Monday, the EC decided on the critical dates on the Senate vote calendar.
The new Senate may have 200 representatives from 20 different industries, with no direct voting by the electorate.
The candidates will cast their ballots in three different ways, starting at the neighborhood level with intra-professional groups and finally inter-groups.
Candidates who are chosen from the district-level surveys will continue to cast inter-group ballots at the provincial and national levels.
The EC will accept applications for the EC Senate elections from May 20 through May 24 at the particular area agencies, including the May 22 Visakha Bucha people vacation.
On June 9, the district-level international- and district-level elections will be held, followed by provincial-level inter- elections on June 16. On June 26, the last inter-group election will take place at the federal level.
The cabinet secretary company may receive the EC’s agreed times before they are published in the Royal Gazette.
The most recent development was made in response to concerns about a low voter turnout as a result of the complicated voting procedures, which has already prompted the EC to schedule an immediate conference with the media on Tuesday to understand Senate poll questions.
EC secretary-general Sawang Boonmee expects to clarify surveys rules, which are viewed as restricting media coverage and making some reporters uncomfortable with their ability to perform their jobs.
Mr. Sawang added that the EC did dispel any misgivings about the EU’s 60-day legal cap on the Senate poll’s completion.
The payment will also provide information to the media regarding the responsibilities and composition of the incoming senators as well as the authority of the present, departing senators.
” We totally understand that individuals want confidence in the EC’s capacity to respond to the answers.
” That is why we fixed today’s meeting so the media is spread the word about the vote, “he said.
Due to the complexity and expense of the multi-tier surveys, Wisut Chainaroon, a Pheu Thai list MP, claimed that some people he knew personally had decided not to run for a Senate chair.
The MP noted that mind-blowing regulations must be implemented before the elections, adding that he has learned of some social groups conducting a quasi-campaign fundraising campaign for potential candidates before the royal edict declaring the Senate election.
At the Dusit city company, there are currently fewer Senate election software types available.
Just 28 people had received application forms from the region as of Monday, according to the report.
