The EC's pledge came after the commission faced criticism for mishandling advance voting last Sunday. EC secretary-general Sawaeng Boonmee said on Wednesday that voting on election day is fundamentally different from advance voting, both in scale and logistics, and the same problems will not occur. While advance voting saw voters from about 400 constituencies gathering at designated locations, election day voting will take place across roughly 100,000 polling units nationwide, he said.
