Parit Urges Election Commission to Release Detailed Vote Counts People’s Party to Request Documents for Verification

Parit Watcharasindhu urges the Election Commission (EC) to disclose the 2026 election vote count reports by polling station nationwide, emphasizing that greater transparency removes doubts. He revealed that today the People’s Party will submit a letter requesting access to the vote count documents for verification.

At 10:03 a.m. on 10 Feb 2026 GMT+7. Parit Watcharasindhu, spokesperson for the People’s Party and prospective party-list member of parliament (MP). He posted a message stating that greater transparency eliminates doubts, calling on the Election Commission to release the vote count reports from every polling station nationwide now that two days have passed since the polls closed.

Parit further stated, “Winning or losing is something everyone can accept, but every citizen’s vote must be protected. Winning or losing is acceptable, but transparent procedures by the EC will remove suspicions.” Amid observations of several suspicious issues regarding vote counting and aggregation nationwide and specifically at Constituency 1 in Chonburi Province on the night of 9 February, he said one urgent task for the EC is to build public confidence that votes are accurately recorded and tallied by disclosing the detailed vote count reports by polling station nationwide—over 99,000 stations (each constituency has about 200–300 polling stations).

Allowing public access to the vote count reports from all polling stations nationwide would enable citizens to verify the accuracy of the count, such as:

• For each constituency: whether the announced total vote matches the sum of votes from each polling station’s report.
• For each polling station: whether the votes in the report match the tally sheets used on site during counting, which citizens and volunteers may have photographed.
• For each polling station: whether the votes in the report correspond with the data recorded and published on the EC website.

Parit also revealed that the EC’s regulations on MP elections, revised by the EC in 2025, require that vote count reports by polling station (documents known as forms 5/16, 5/17, and 5/18) must be promptly published on the provincial EC websites. The key purpose of this prompt disclosure is to close timing gaps and prevent doubts about tampering with vote counts after on-site tallying. Moreover, since Thailand has nearly 100,000 polling stations, the EC should release the data in an easily analyzable format (such as Excel) to facilitate verification.

“The key question is, now that it is the second day after counting ended, when will the EC release the vote count reports for all polling stations nationwide? Does the EC consider 'promptly' to mean more than two days? Beyond calling on the EC through this channel to expedite public disclosure, today the People’s Party will submit a formal letter to the EC requesting to inspect all polling station vote count documents.”
