(Photo by Chanat Katanyu)The Election Commission (EC) has warned referendum voters against taking selfies in polling stations because they risk breaking the law. Referring to debates on the draft charter in the provinces, he said there have been no reports of problems. The EC has set a goal of a 80% voter turnout and efforts will be made to persuade people to vote to meet that target. He was giving a lecture to students attending the political development and high-ranking election course at the EC office on Friday. The materials suggest the draft charter is aimed at empowering Buddhism and will overshadow other religions while deliberately making it harder for those practicing Islam, he said.
