EC member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn said the EC had approved in principle the draft organic law on elections and expected to finish correcting its wording by Thursday. The EC proposed a requirement that would have candidates produce a maximum of 300 campaign posters and only post them on EC bulletin boards, he said. The EC expects to use around 20 million baht from the candidacy application fees to fund the procurement of the election campaign boards, he said. The size of the election campaign poster is proposed to be set at a standard 60cm by 60cm, he said. The EC proposed to issue red, orange and black cards for serious violations, each offering certain penalties for violations.
