EC urged to streamline votesListen to this articleA former election commissioner on Saturday urged the Election Commission (EC) to revise its regulations to make voting more convenient for the public amid concerns over the management of dual voting for the general election and the constitutional referendum on Feb 8. On Facebook, Somchai Srisutthiyakorn asked why the EC did not streamline the process for the Feb 8 polls and charter referendum. Meanwhile, a total of 1,264,103 people from Dec 20 to Jan 3 registered for early voting, the EC Office said. Of these, 4,837 registered for early voting within their constituencies, 1,148,146 for out-of-constituency and 111,120 for overseas. There will be no advance voting for the referendum, even though it will be held on the same day as the general election.
