Chonburi Begins 2026 Election with Enthusiastic Voter Turnout from Early Morning

Chonburi has opened polling stations for the 2026 election, with eligible voters arriving steadily and enthusiastically to receive three ballots for selecting members of parliament and voting in the referendum. The public's alertness matches that of other provinces.

On 8 February 2026 in Chonburi province, reporters described a lively atmosphere since the polling stations opened early in the morning. Eligible voters have been arriving gradually at various polling units to exercise their rights. This election provides voters with three ballots: one for constituency-based parliamentary representatives, one for party-list representatives, and one for the referendum.




Polling station officials have prepared the venues, equipment, and procedures meticulously to ensure facilitation strictly according to regulations. Most voters arrived in an orderly manner, with some coming even before the polling stations opened to avoid congestion later in the morning.




Nationwide, polling stations are open for eligible voters from 08:00 to 17:00. It is expected that voter turnout will remain steady throughout the day, with law enforcement and related officials maintaining order and security.




This morning, 8 February, around 09:00, reporters observed that polling officials in Sriracha district, Chonburi, and at referendum voting points were prepared with documents before opening the polling stations and starting the referendum at 08:00. Sriracha, a significant tourist city, sees intense political competition among major parties. At polling stations visited by reporters, voters showed as much enthusiasm as in other provinces, collectively exercising their rights to vote and participate in the referendum. They aim to elect capable individuals to advance the country’s development. Today marks an important day for citizens nationwide to decide the country's future through the general election, choosing a new government to lead national progress.
