Investigation comes as local polls kick off

- POST REPORTERS

The Election Commission (EC) is investigating claims of vote buying in Kalasin as the nationwide municipal elections kicked off yesterday.

EC deputy secretary-general, Pol Lt Col Rapheephong Jirapattanalak, said a team of investigators have been sent to the northeastern province to look into claims that many voters were offered as much as 3,000 baht to vote for a certain party in the province's local election.

The report came as Thailand kicked off its nationwide local elections, with voting taking place at 34,818 polling stations in 2,463 municipalities across all provinces except Bangkok yesterday. A total of 29.9 million people were eligible to vote.
