A summary of how to check the 2026 voter registration list and polling station by yourself through the Department of Provincial Administration's website and the Smart Vote app before casting your vote on 8 Feb 2026 GMT+7.

The 2026 general election for Members of the House of Representatives (MPs) is fast approaching on Sunday, 8 February 2026 GMT+7. One crucial step not to overlook is "checking your polling station" to avoid confusion and save travel time—especially for residents in Bangkok and other provinces where electoral districts or voting locations may have changed. Here is an easy self-check guide.

This 2026 election not only involves choosing your preferred candidate and party but also includes a referendum on a new draft constitution. Therefore, confirming your "polling location" is very important, as some areas may have new electoral district boundaries or polling stations different from before. To ensure accuracy, the Election Commission (EC) has provided online channels available 24/7 for advance checking.

Ways to check voter eligibility and polling stations for 2026

Citizens can verify their voter registration, assigned polling station, and position on the voter list through two main channels as follows:

• The Registration Administration Office website, Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA): Accessible via mobile or computer web browsers.
• The Smart Vote application: Provided by the Election Commission (EC), available on both iOS and Android platforms.

Steps to check your polling station yourself

Whether you live in Bangkok or other provinces, you can follow the same steps:

Differences between Bangkok and other provinces

• In Bangkok: polling stations are often set up in Bangkok Metropolitan schools, district offices, or community event areas due to the dense population. It is important to verify your "voter number" precisely to inform officials quickly at the polling site.
• In other provinces: polling stations are usually located at local temples, multipurpose halls, or community schools. In some wide areas, the polling station locations may shift based on the suitability of the area each year.

Documents to prepare on 8 Feb 2026

Besides checking your polling station, don't forget to bring one of the following identification documents:

• National ID card (expired cards are also accepted).
• Driver’s license with your ID number and photo.
• Valid passport (not expired).
• Digital ID card via the ThaID app or digital driver’s license through the DLT QR LICENCE app.

Checking your 2026 polling station in advance is vital to ensure a smooth voting experience on 8 February, minimizing issues such as going to the wrong district or not finding your name. If any information is incorrect, citizens can file a request to add or remove names with the local registrar within the legal timeframe to protect the value of your one-person-one-vote right.
