The chairman of polling unit 9 in Bangkok's Khan Na Yao district, constituency 15, confirmed that the pink party-list MP ballot includes a stub number but refused to show it, referring the matter to the central Election Commission for explanation after images appeared showing ballots without numbers.
On 22 February 2026, following concerns about the party-list MP ballots—the pink ballots—from the 8 February 2026 election, where the stub usually shows book and ballot numbers, reporters observed the ballots lacked these numbers. The polling unit chairman initially insisted the numbers were present. When pressed about the absence of numbers on the pink ballots and asked to see the ballot stub, the chairman said they had not yet received guidance from the Election Commission on whether it could be shown.
Reporters then requested to verify the ballot stub and confirm the presence of the numbers. The polling unit chairman affirmed that the numbers were there but asked staff to continue their duties, stating the central Election Commission should confirm the matter. Later, reporters sought confirmation from the director of the Bangkok Election Commission office, who refused to give an interview on this issue.
