The Election Commission has ordered an urgent investigation into a clip by lawyer Aun exposing a voter list document from Samut Prakan found used as paper under an egg tray, demanding a report within 48 hours.
On 23 June 2026, the Election Commission (EC) issued an official statement regarding a video clip shared by Mr. Patthapong Supakson, known as lawyer Aun Buriram, on social media. He claimed to have found a voter list document for parliamentary elections in Samut Prakan Province being used as paper under an egg tray, sparking public concern over personal data security measures.
The EC's preliminary fact-check found that the document shown in the clip is voter list form S.S. 1/3, printed according to EC regulations for parliamentary elections. The document contains the names and 13-digit ID numbers of eligible voters in Samut Prakan Province but lacks voters’ signatures. Therefore, it is not the official main ballot record used to verify voter presence at polling stations on election day.
The EC further explained the management and printing system of the voter list (S.S. 1/3) as per election regulations to clarify the process for the public. The lists are printed and divided into four sets: First set (with 13-digit ID numbers) is given to district or local registrars for checking, updating, adding, removing, or changing addresses, and kept as official records. Second set (with 13-digit ID numbers) is used by polling station officials to verify and mark voters' ballots during advance and actual election days. Third set (without 13-digit ID numbers) is posted at polling stations for public name verification and collected after polls close. Fourth set (without 13-digit ID numbers) is given to district chiefs or municipal officials to post election announcements near polling sites before election day.
To ascertain the facts and trace how this document ended up as paper under an egg tray, the EC has issued an urgent order for the Samut Prakan provincial EC office to deploy staff for a thorough investigation and submit findings to the central office within 48 hours for further legal and regulatory action.
