Voters must verify ID twiceListen to this articlePhasakorn: Voter lists differentVoters will be required to verify their identities twice when voting in the general election and the charter referendum, as the voter lists for the two ballots differ, says the Election Commission (EC). He said advance and out-of-constituency voting are permitted in a general election, but for a referendum, only out-of-constituency voting is allowed, with no advance voting provided. As a result, the list of eligible voters at each polling station is not the same, making separate verification necessary. Mr Phasakorn insisted the proposal to streamline the procedures will be considered, as voter participation is the top priority. Voters who believe a candidate lacks qualifications may also file a complaint with the EC, he said.
