Chatuchak "Prit" observes and chooses Chatuchak District Senator Looking at the few applicants Choosing among themselves, competition is not intense. Suggests the Election Commission to expedite the investigation into the scandal. Worried that it will affect the timeline for announcing results Mr. Prit Watcharasinthu, MP for the Progressive Party list. As Chairman of the Political Development Commission mass communication and public participation House of Representatives Visit the area to observe and select District level senator at Chandrakasem Rajabhat University, Chatuchak District, before revealing that the committee had followed up on the selection process Continuously new batch of senators The goal is to make the selection process The Senate operates smoothly, transparently and according to the time frame. and the people are most involved Today, the committee has spread out to observe all over the country. The reason why he decided to come and observe in Chatuchak District Because there are many appli cants for Senate, it is one of 3 districts in Bangkok. with more than 90 applicants Mr. Prit stated 3 demands to the Election Commission, including: 1. Want to see a closer observation location arranged. Chatuchak District even has observation locations. But observing the counting of votes and the results of the counting of votes is still very difficult. Must be monitored through CCTV cameras, which does not cover all occupational groups. and is the only dissemination of images Therefore called for The Election Commission has improved to allow observers and citizens closer access to the selection process. Provincial level senator It has been reported that observation locations will be selected at the district level. Each area is different. In some places you can see the vote counting process and the selected document pages. Some places have limited space and cannot go inside the selected area. Some areas must be viewed through CCTV cameras only. 2. The standards of practice in each selection unit are diffe rent, such as drawing lots to divide into groups. Guidelines for talking and introducing oneself between applicants and 3. It may not be possible to fix it in time, but lessons must be learned. Because there are only a small number of applicants overall, more than 40,000 people, some occupational groups have no applicants. Some groups have no more than 5 applicants, no need to select each other. The competition is therefore not intense. As for the scandal of hiring people to choose for Hua This is a complaint that is continually received in the Commission. Which has many levels, the most serious being hiring people to choose for themselves. Second is the establishment of networks among people who know each other in exchange for votes. All are considered illegal. Immediately, I want the Election Commission to take serious and rapid action to find out the facts. and must not affect the selection of a new set of senators In the long term, I personally don't agree with the selection of senators in this system, so I question whether there is a need for a Senate or not. Because there are many countries around the world that are single states. If there is a parliamentary system, then there is a unicameral system. There is only the House of Representatives, if there will be high-powered senators involved in considering amending the constitution. Certification of Constitutional Court judges Office holders in independent organizations should be elected through elections with public participation. It is not a friendly selection process between applicants. which has the barrier of age and application fees that make it difficult for the public to access As for whether or not we will get a senator who answers the questions, Mr. Prit emphasizes that he doesn't agree with the structure and origins of the matter. The Senate hopes that this process will be the only and last time in Thai politics. The design of a parliament that meets these needs will be discussed in the preparation of the new constitution. Does Thailand need a Senate or not? If so, how should the power and authority structure be designed to be consistent? while the attitude of Election Commission regarding fraud The Election Commission should take this seriously. Allocate sufficient personnel to search for facts so that problems can be solved. without affecting the overall picture in selection Senator to follow the calendar. However, the Commission has received reports of fraud, such as photos used in the application appearing to be of the same location. All are just observations. It is not too hasty to conclude that it has been established. Ultimately, the Election Commission must be serious about fact-finding.
