According to the Election Commission (EC ), the Provincial Administrative Organization ( PAO ) chairman elections in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phetchaburi, and Udon Thani are expected to go smoothly.
EC secretary-general Sawang Boonmee stated that the government are prepared to tackle the elections while traveling to Udon Thani to observe the transfer of ballot papers and products at a polling system in Muang area.
The Pheu Thai Party, the main opposition party, and the People’s Party, the main opposition party, are largely competing for the title. In Udon Thani, over 1.2 million individuals can cast ballots.
According to Mr. Sawang, only two problems have been made so far, and the circumstances are being looked into.
Local leaders in the southwestern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat predicted that the election would be largely obstructed by the recent heavy rainfall.
Voters in some places are expected to cast their ballots in the morning because high tides in the day can cause flooding. Arrangements have been made for flooding.
The provincial government instructed state companies to avoid any events that might cause a 10-minute power outage on Saturday morning in some parts of the country’s Muang district.
Governor Chamnan Chuenta also observed voting at a voting place in the Muang region in Surin, where the weekend’s native PAO president election took place.
Authorities predicted a 60 % participation for voters, which is higher than the 55 % participation in earlier polls. Surin has a voter electorate of more than 1 million individuals.
Following the chairmen’s early resignations before their terms ended on December 19, PAO polls were held in some provinces this season.
Local government managed the process, with the EC solely responsible for setting the time and offering assistance and support. Candidates must submit application forms by February 1 for a nationwide vote to be held from December 23 to February 27.
