After there are conditions to consider Confirming readiness to receive complaints about qualifications - protests, voting - Hua But I believe it will not affect the timeline for announcing the results of the 200 senators, along with giving guidelines for each area to apply first. If you are found to be unqualified, you can appeal to the Supreme Court later. Mr. Sawaeng Bunmee, Secretary-General of the Election Commission or Election Commission, inspected the place for recruiting senators at the Khan Na Yao District Office. and Bang Kapi District Office with the director of the district office and those who were given the position of director to be the chosen director, the Senate welcomed them. which confirms the readiness of the application location There are 5 designated points starting from the document checking point, the admissions d esk, data recording, and fee payment. and issue an application form Mr. Sawaeng gave guidelines for applying: Please proceed with the application first. Because it is considered that each applicant certifies his or her own qualifications. Because the qualifications and prohibitions for applying for Senate have been clearly announced. In the future, if there is an investigation or complaint among the applicants, it will be submitted to the Supreme Court for consideration. And if it is found that the applicant lacks the qualifications, he or she will be held responsible.

Mr. Sawang also believes that in Bangkok there will be more applicants than other areas. Because it is a large area, there are many interested people. And it is expected that during the 5-day application day between 20-24 May there will be more applicants. and in order which is believed to be Bangkok It will be the area of g reatest strength in recruiting. Along with thanking the District Office for supporting the work of the Election Commission, I am personally confident that the potential in the Bangkok area will not cause problems, especially at the district or district level. before forwarding to the provincial level Director whom the director recruits You may encounter difficulties in the matter of Checking because if there are many applicants, it will take a long time to check. Especially during voting, if there are a lot of candidates there will be protests. Therefore, each district office is requested to be prepared in this matter. Don't let people be worried about the admissions process. But let the people be worried about getting the Senate. Do you like it or not? Therefore, it is no longer a matter of the officials. But it is the responsibility of the applicants themselves. who have to choose among themselves to get senators According to the constitution, 200 people are required, so it is considered the cooperation of everyone, not just the Election Commission or any one official. As for the budget for operations, it is confirmed that the Election Commission has already allocated it for each area, so you don't have to worry. Mr. Sawang gave an additional interview. Confirming that apart from the two districts that came to inspect readiness today, every election district across the country is ready to recruit senators. As for the case where many parties fear that there will be a clash between applicants of this size, the Election Commission has been following the movement. At the same time, after the application is made, the information of the applicants will be published through the website of the Election Commission. If the public finds the applicant Any applicant who lacks qualifications or has broken the law, such as conspiring or being hired to vote, can file a complaint or provide information to the Election Commission. There will be rewards for those who provide information. Overall, it is still believed that there will be a new set of 200 senators within the planned time frame. For complaints Mr. Sawaeng said there are 3 types: qualifications and prohibited characteristics. Once announced Applicants see that they can apply, but the public may see that they do not have the qualifications. You may file a complaint. District Director to submit it to the Supreme Court for consideration. There is also the matter of limiting rights. For example, if you have not chosen a local section for 2 years or have applied for more than 2 groups, your name must be removed. and will forward it to the Supreme Court for consideration to be completed before 1 day, but if it is not completed, proceed further There were also complaints during the voting process. That can still protest the decision committee immediately and also have another channel to deputy election commission if dissatisfied. The decision of the Election Commission is final. At the same time, there are still complaints about vote buying. Hoping to hire people to run for office This takes time to consider. It may not be completed according to the district, province, and country level selection process, which takes time. Because fairness must be given to all parties. But I want you to be comfortable that these 3 matters will not affect the timeline or roadmap for announcing the Senate. 200 people The Secretary-General of the Election Commission still believes that people are alert to the selection of senators this time after a campaign from the Election Commission and other groups. But I have to admit that Interest in coming to apply There are a number of conditions such as age criteria. and occupational groups that must be experienced This may leave few applicants. But I personally believe that there will still be many applicants. And during this time, you may still be debating. Waiting for decision to apply Therefore, you must wait and see the application date. Tomorrow will be the first day to see how many people are interested. Source: Thai News Agency
