Four ballots for Thai voters in next general election — Borwornsak
14 Sept 02:11Key points summarised by AI
Thai citizens will receive four ballots in the upcoming general election: two for electing party-list and constituency MPs, and two for significant national referenda.
The referenda will ask voters to decide on drafting a new constitution and whether to annul a controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cambodia.
Deputy Prime Minister Borwornsak Uwanno stressed that these decisions are too critical for any single administration, requiring public consent, with each referendum estimated to cost up to 6 billion baht.
The Anutin administration plans to dissolve parliament by January next year, with the general election and associated referenda anticipated around April, fulfilling a prior agreement with the opposition.

Should the court oust her, the Pheu Thai party intends to nominate Chaikasem Nitisiri as the next prime minister, with the current coalition government committed to remaining united.
