The amended election costs may be laws by November, with the first of three referendums on the proposed update of the 2017 law held around February, Nikorn Chamnong, director to the particular House panel on the bill, said on Thursday.

The preliminary timetable was approved during the agency’s second meeting on Wednesday, he said.

The committee’s process of reviewing the bill, which has passed its first studying, is expected to finish by late August, before the document laws, which contains modifications to nine parts of the Referendum Act 2021, enters its second and third observations, he said.

Even at Wednesday’s meeting, the board resolved to nominate Wutthisarn Tanchai, director- basic of King Prajadhipok’s Institute, as panel chair, said Mr Nikorn.

Chaikasem Nitisiri, an assistant to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, was appointed as the first deputy president of the vote bill- evaluating commission. Another delegates were given the names.

In another growth, List-MP and spokesman for the major opposition Move Forward Party ( MPF), Parit Wacharasindhu, requested on Thursday that the house be asked for a legislative resolution to change a referendum issue that the government approved on April 23.

People should be asking if they support a request to amend Chapters 1 and 2 of the charter. Thailand is characterized as a single, unbroken, democratic nation with the King as head of state, as described in Chapter 1, while Chapter 2 includes provisions relating to imperial privileges.

According to Mr Parit, the MFP wants the “without changing Pages 1 and 2” part of the vote problem dropped because it was approved by the government for three factors.

First, he said, “people who only support the constitution’s need to be rewritten but cannot support the connected condition of leaving the chapters untouched” may be left in purgatory.”

Next, he added, in the event that any amendments require a shift to either book, they will not occur if either or both sections are specifically protected from change.

Third, he claimed that if the constitution may be changed to the fulfillment of all parties, the primary goal of rewriting the charter would be to end conflicts between people of various political viewpoints.
