The Election Commission (EC) is satisfied with the 3 July general election arrangement and will certify the election result within 30 days before the first parliamentary session is convened.
Election Commissioner Prapun Naigowit reported that the voter turnout was very high as people were very active in coming out to cast their votes similar to previous 2007 general election of 74% although some provinces are experiencing flood.
Mr Prapun then thanked all related sides as well as the media for their cooperation and contribution to make this election smoothly conducted.
Election Commissioner Sodsri Satayathum stated that this election is the last mission of the incumbent election commissioners. She noted that this election is a proof that the EC can arrange a free and fair election, which is accepted by the international community.
Ms Sodsri added that from now on the EC will press ahead with the consideration of 196 complaints and election result certification within one month or at least endorse 95% of MPs in order that a new parliamentary session can be held in time.
Meanwhile, Election Commissioner Wisut Phothitaen expressed his excitement with this election as people were active to cast their votes and made the election smooth and trouble-free. He said the EC will speedily certify election results, hopefully within seven days if there are no complaints.
Mr Wisut believed that the official election result could be announced within one or two days.
