New ballot boxes were opened for re-voting in Bangkok's District 15 Unit 9, Udon Thani's District 6 Unit 4, and Nan's District 1 Unit 3, with a recount in one unit in Bangkok. The Director of the Bangkok Election Commission reported that the overall process was smooth and requested cooperation in not photographing ballots.
On 22 February 2026 at 08:00 a.m., the new voting process began. The Election Commission (EC) resolved and scheduled voting today in three polling units across three provinces. Voting is open from 08:00 to 17:00 as follows.
Voters cast ballots for both constituency and party-list MPs and participate in a new referendum vote. This polling unit and referendum unit 9 in Bangkok's District 15 is located at the Amornpan Satellite Condo Town (R4) building, Khan Na Yao subdistrict, Khan Na Yao district, where voters have been arriving steadily.
Voters cast ballots for party-list MPs. This polling station is in Udon Thani's District 6, Chaiwan subdistrict, Unit 4, located at the multipurpose hall, Village No. 4, Phon Sung subdistrict, Chaiwan district.
Voters cast ballots for constituency MPs. Located in Nan's District 1, Mueang Nan district, Unit 3, Chai Satthaan subdistrict, at the Ban Srikead meeting hall, Chai Satthaan subdistrict, Mueang Nan district.
Meanwhile, a recount of ballots for both constituency and party-list MPs, as well as the referendum votes, is underway in polling and referendum Unit 10, Khan Na Yao subdistrict, Khan Na Yao district, District 15 of Bangkok, at the Amornpan Satellite Condo Town (R4) building, starting at 10:00 a.m.
Later, at 08:07 a.m., Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Samphan Saengkhamlert, Director of the Bangkok Election Commission Office, gave an interview saying, the overall process is proceeding smoothly. In Bangkok's District 15, both re-voting and recounting are taking place. It is expected that out of 715 eligible voters, about 70%, or approximately 500 people, will participate. For this election setup, the polling location was moved indoors because the previous outdoor tent collapsed during a storm, damaging ballots and necessitating re-voting.
All procedures follow existing regulations. Vote counting and result announcements will be conducted at the polling station before reporting to the District 15 EC and then to the Bangkok EC. Regarding the ballots, the Bangkok EC Director stated he has not seen whether the ballots are of the old design since he did not enter the polling units. They are newly printed ballots sent from the central EC. The old ballots are awaiting destruction.
Meanwhile, vote counting teams have been thoroughly trained with realistic drills. Lessons learned from media reports have been used to improve the process. Counting is now conducted step-by-step normally. There is sufficient equipment and space, and no overlapping of score sheets, allowing voters to clearly verify results. Previously, overlapping occurred due to limited space and many candidates, with each unit receiving three boards. Confidence is high that vote counting will be completed smoothly.
Concerning ballot barcode security, the EC strives for confidentiality. So far, it remains secure as no breaches have been identified. The Director reiterated a request to refrain from photographing ballots. For everyone's peace of mind, photographing ballots should be avoided, and voters should not take photos of their ballots since there is no necessity to keep such images. The EC assures that all procedures follow legal regulations, and photographing ballots with marked votes is definitely a violation. Voters are encouraged to come out and exercise their voting rights.
