Chadchart rode his beloved bicycle to cast his vote for Bangkok Governor and Bangkok Council members before the polls opened. He was glad it didn't rain and urged Bangkok residents to come out and vote in large numbers, revealing he would watch the vote count live on television.
On 28 June 2026, at Polling Station 26, Khlong Tan Nuea subdistrict, Watthana District, Bangkok, near Jamchan School, the atmosphere was lively with media and citizens closely following the voting for Bangkok Council members and Governor. This station was where former Bangkok Governor and current candidate Chadchart Sittipunt was scheduled to vote.
At 7:55 a.m., Chadchart arrived at the polling booth by bicycle, greeted the media, and said he was lucky that it wasn't raining this morning.
After voting, Chadchart told reporters that after campaigning, he felt very tired due to a continuous 24-hour live campaign and even briefly fell asleep while waiting in line to buy food.
When asked about his readiness on voting day, Chadchart replied that after waking up early and going for his usual run, he felt refreshed and ready for the day's activities. He noted the morning weather was very good and expected no rain within the next three hours. He urged citizens to vote early for both governor and council members to avoid potential afternoon rain.
Regarding voter turnout expectations, Chadchart said that last election turnout was about 60%, but this time he aims for up to 80%. He emphasized that today is an important day in democracy, where citizens' identities are most evident and every vote counts. He encouraged people to vote in large numbers to make history and to empower the new governor and council members to carry out their duties.
On following the vote count, Chadchart planned to watch results live at Stadium One, his team's workplace. This election differs from previous ones as there is no central election observer team compiling and reporting results, so this year he would mainly rely on television broadcasts.
Chadchart said he did not feel pressure in voting but expressed concern and warned voters about marking ballots incorrectly. Since there are two ballot colors—green for governor and pink for council members—he urged voters to carefully check the color before marking, as incorrect markings cannot be corrected by requesting a new ballot.
When asked how this vote differed from previous ones, Chadchart said it felt different because it was no longer about selling dreams to the public but simply part of normal life and moving forward.
Regarding transparency, he left responsibility to relevant officials and expressed confidence that before his term ended, he had instructed all officials to act with utmost fairness to ensure credible, transparent election results beneficial to democracy.
Chadchart emphasized that this Bangkok election had no early or out-of-district voting, a point publicized for months to avoid confusion, as allowing these could cause disorder.
Currently, Chadchart said he felt excited but slightly fatigued from his 24-hour campaign the previous day, which he found enjoyable. On confidence in election results, he said he has no right to be confident since the decision rests entirely with the people, so all he can do is await their verdict.
