Super Poll director doubts poll result on election inspectors

13 Sept 12:14 Key points summarised by AI

Super Poll director Noppadol Kanikar expressed strong doubts about the reliability of a Senate-conducted opinion poll on the Election Commission Bill, which indicated 90% opposition among 60,000 respondents.
Kanikar criticized the poll's methodology, highlighting that it did not use random sampling, allowed respondents to click multiple times on a website, and featured a lengthy questionnaire covering several issues.
He pointed out that the poll failed to cover all target groups, particularly those without internet access, which could significantly distort the results.
The Senate's poll is viewed as an effort to justify 36 National Legislative Assembly members' move to amend the bill and block the incumbent Election Commission's nomination of 616 provincial election inspectors.
