Ten offences of the local election law have so far been reported to the office of the Bangkok election committee, city election director Veera Yiprae said.

Mr Veera said of the 10 reported offences, eight were violations of the ban on the sale of alcoholic drinks, one case of damage to a campaign poster and one case of a voter tearing up a ballot paper.

More complaints on electoral offences can still be filed with the Bangkok election committee 30 days after the election, he said.

Is it not an offence if a convicted criminal is allowed to vote?

Very simple Disc 1 - file a complaint with the Bangkok election committee. All you need is the evidence, which I am sure you have already

Serious offences ? If these so-called offenses were also offenses in lets say Europe, there would not be enough prisons available. Anyway, most elections are only masquerades in most so called democracies. You can vote but when you express an opinion, you re thrown in jail.

You mean there were only 8 places in BKK where you could buy alcohol today? I would have thought it closer to 8,000.

How about posters for #9 still being in place with the largest one less than 10 meters away from the votingbooths and redshirts scaring voters by walking up to people coming to vote demanding to know who they are going to vote fro ? Is that against the law ? The people that are supposed to make sure it is a safe election sure did nothing.One sitting right under a poster for #9 looking at redshirts scaring voters.My friend is too scared to report this because of who is running for PT . . going to the police to report this . . . she is too scared.
