Election Commission listens to opinions on adjusting election communications, vows to immediately suppress those who carry cheat sheets on the day of the Senate election.
At the seminar on the preparation of the provincial administrative organization election plan and the referendum, Mr. Sittichai Inthawiset, the Election Commissioner (EC), saw the problem of the EC website, which is quite complicated. The EC’s public relations information is not very responsive because it is still complicated and difficult to access, such as petitions, progress, how many petitions have been completed, the division of constituencies for provincial administrative organization elections or national elections, which are difficult to access. The EC should have a spokesperson to communicate quickly.
Mr. Thitichet Nuchnat, Election Commissioner (EC), said that during the 2019 election, he was assigned to oversee the EC’s fake news coordination center. The correction of news must be done systematically, with 10 officers working t
o correct fake news and end it quickly. These fake news stories occur before, during, and after the election.
Ready to reveal that on the day of the senator election, the EC had a meeting and came to a conclusion that the senator’s papers 3 should be collected to avoid criticism or taking advantage of other candidates, or that cheat sheets should not be brought in. On the day of the election, there was a request for votes in front of the restroom and in the restroom, and they got close to the prepared cheat sheets. These actions were taking advantage of others and did not comply with the EC’s resolution. Therefore, they had to work against time and solve every situation as a problem. 314
