Bangkok, April 13 – “Somchai” reiterates that the Election Commission flew to see overseas events that are inappropriate, neither time nor place can be solved. Long-distance conference excuses not heard ineffective in solving the pre-election registration system collapse – without ruling on political policies Let’s speed up the debate.
Today (April 13), Mr. Somchai Srisuthiyakorn, president of policy-driven strategy Thai Seri Ruam Party and a former member of the ECT mentioned the case of 6 ECT members flying to see foreign affairs. This made it impossible to consider the problem of the pre-election registration system crashing. and can judge political party policies that in the case of the failure of the advance voting registration system It can be considered that the people have not lost their right to vote. Because there is still a general election on May 14, 2023, but it causes difficulties for the people. Must travel to vote at the polling station according to the house registration Which is half-blind that the Election Commission is the one who makes the people lose this right. In which people can file civil lawsuits against the Election Commission for causing damage to the people. It depends on how the court will consider it. or may be prosecuted criminally The Election Commission neglects to perform its duties, which is difficult to say because the Election Commission itself performs its duties. Only there was a problem. And if it’s an ethical matter, it’s another story that the Election Commission of Thailand working at full capacity or not Do not intend to perform duties to the fullest ability or not. May be the ethics of people holding political positions. can request to withdraw depending on what the public thinks
“People in power will see that it is a matter of violence or not, and how. You must work to your full potential. which can be verified, for example, instead of being completely together or half together in order to find a solution went back to live abroad I can say that I do not intend to do my best, ”said Mr. Somchai.
Mr. Somchai also said that until today, no effort has been seen to solve the problem of healing people’s rights from the failure of the pre-election registration system. Because there was no answer from the ECT, there was only an apology from the secretary of the ECT, and today it’s time to fix it. April 9th has passed for more than 3-4 days until the ECT returns. April 25th is out of the time frame to do anything about this because on April 25th, sometimes pre-election abroad is already done. How much is stuck in the system? and will heal It was considered at least able to enable a number of people who had problems during that time to exercise their right to vote outside their constituencies. But there must be an answer that you have actually done not just saying and didn’t do anything How many people are having problems? But now I haven’t seen an answer yet.
Mr. Somchai went on to talk about the case of 6 Election Commissioners flying to see foreign affairs, saying that if it was a holiday trip and used personal money No one would say but he used government money to inspect elections outside the Kingdom cause criticism Because we go together in a country that needs to go or not, such as a country with problems There are a lot of Thai people living and the Election Commission of Thailand have experienced problems in facilitating before and go at the right time to see whether the issue of elections outside the Kingdom is true or not which going on vacation is true It’s true that it takes less time. But asked if it was time for us to see a clear picture of elections outside the kingdom. The answer is no. Because it’s an image that hasn’t happened yet. whether to choose by mail The election at the embassy has not yet taken place. It is just going to listen to the briefing of various embassies. which, if just listening to a summary You don’t have to travel. Listening through video conferencing through the zoom system But even after listening to this, I still can’t solve any problems. because it can’t be solved Since the various systems have already been put in place, everything ended on April 9th, so the place and time may not be ideal.
Mr. Somchai said that during the time since the start of the process leading up to the election, Basically, the meeting time will take more than half of the quorum, so if you go anywhere, it’s up to you. half must be left In case it is necessary to call a meeting then the President of the Election Commission has a role to act in accordance with the laws relating to elections. If there is a problem, it must be corrected, so the president can’t go anywhere. If you have to go, you have to delegate. One of the Election Commissioners is acting, so now if the Election Commission is all at the same time it is a problem. Said there was a long-distance meeting there. Which he himself probably tried to find the answer to look good just have to look at things actual whether there is actually a meeting or not Is there any resolution to solve the problem in a timely manner? Like the system crashed on April 9, April 10, was there a meeting? There is a report for all directors. to fix the problem or not or let it pass indefinitely until public holidays Nobody does anything now. Open again on April 18, waiting for the Election Commission to complete on April 25, so it seems that various conferences did not actually happen
“I don’t know now. Does the Election Commission work during Songkran? because now there are many Questions about political parties For example, there is an appointment for a political party to go on a debate organized by the Election Commission of Thailand on April 17, and I still haven’t received an answer whether it’s confirmed or not. because the documents have not arrived yet have a meeting make an appointment verbally but the book hasn’t arrived yet At the moment, I still can’t find where to call and ask. because the office was closed and many more This includes a call for a decision on digital money policy, ”said Somchai. – Thai News Agency
