Yingcheep Atchanont, manager of Internet Dialogue on Law Reform, known as iLaw, criticised today the Election Commission (EC) for not keeping its promise to live stream the final round of senatorial election voting.
He said the broadcast from the convention halls, where the senatorial voting is being held, shows only a single angle and lacks sound.
Speaking at Impact Muang Thong Thani, Yingcheep said he and other observers could not witness the score calling or counting.
“The EC had publicly promised that observers could follow the procedure on CCTV streamed from the halls. What we found, however, is that the feed had no sound at all, preventing us from following the procedures,” he said.
He noted that there were 20 CCTV cameras in the various voting rooms, but they did not stream anything.
About 1,000 people came to observe the senatorial elections, but the observation rooms could not accommodate all of them.
Therefore, they should have been able to watch the process via the feed promised by the EC but, so far, they cannot, Yingcheep said.
