The election of the president and the members of the Council of Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) is the starting point for the election of other organizations of the local government. What will continue in the future Many parties and parties are gradually sending candidates to the PAO because it is one of the most important electoral fields. This will result in an advantage and a disadvantage in the next important electoral field.
But the problem that who cannot help the electoral campaign The Electoral Commission (Electoral Commission) responded that political officials, senators and other government officials are prohibited. I cannot help the campaign candidates That even though the law requires the provincial electoral director to simply suspend such action But in the criminal case, the Electoral Commission can exercise its constitutional powers to carry out investigations in order to make the election of good faith and equity. By criminal case The provisions of Section 34 of the Local Council or Local Administrators Election Act BE2562 are written in Article 18 of the Local Campaign Regulations issued pursuant to Section 66 Violators will be punished under Section 129 and imprisoned for no more than 6 months. What positions of other government officials The Electoral Commission will adhere to the decision of the Constitutional Court that established the norm that 1. appointed or elected by law 2. Have the power and duty to perform or perform duties in accordance with the law. And perform routine tasks 3. In command or supervision of the state. 4. Have a salary Compensation according to the law
What should contain all the elements 4 items, if not complete, will not be considered another government official OR in the case of an assistant All deputies are included. Therefore, unable to help find a voice or apply As to whether he is a government official If he uses government time to help the campaign, it will be wrong to abandon OR neglect official duties OR an offense not to be neutral under cabinet resolution, which would be considered a disciplinary offense. But if it’s about using the position to help, it will be against Section 69 of the Local Elections Act.
For political parties, the law does not prohibit supporting or sending candidates according to article 87. From the Law of Political Parties Require that the party be able to spend on the election of its members. If the party sends a candidate to the local elections, he will be able to pay the bills. Including the candidate can use the campaign logo. Some applicants who were former ministerial advisers You can bring such a position to find the sound. Therefore, political parties to support a candidate must also legalize electoral and political party laws.
But on the part of the Party Executive Committee Deputies or party members who hold positions under Section 34 of the Local Elections Law. Or MP staff assisting with MP operations will help take pictures on the nameplate. Any other materials used in the campaign with a local candidate, distributing fliers with the candidate’s classification. Or support money, property, other benefits for campaign expenses for the local candidate. I cannot do it Because you consider yourself a person under Section 34 of the Local Elections Law Do not take any action That is you as a penalty to any applicant
In such cases, there are still things that should be detected by: The progressive faculty led by “Sia Ek” Thanathorn Chuengroongkit The court has a 10-year disqualification ruling to help the candidate for election. PAO can find sound or not? Because from what I saw on the media page almost several days ago On the side of the Progressive Party, there has been a campaign area in many provinces, which the Electoral Commission has said it can do because the local electoral law does not prohibit people with political disqualification help the activists.
However, the ban on campaigning by section 34 is a principle of thought that attempts to create equality among applicants. PAO individual or political group Reduce the advantage and disadvantage between applicants together. Because national politicians are behind the scenes to campaign for local politicians who are traditional finance networks, while the prosecutor may not want to see the use of human resources or state tools to support candidates. If left aside, the government body and its tools will be exploited in the campaign for a group of friends or family, which will have a significant disadvantage. The Electoral Commission does not want national politicians to descend into local political fields. But it would actually be difficult to divide. And, on the other hand, the law can be used as an important political tool to file more complaints. Leading to problems that will follow in the future
But issuing the Electoral Commission’s ban was perceived as unnatural by the original sponsorship system. Having interests in different returns from the voter base in the same group. And this is contradicted in practice because the Electoral Commission allows political parties to send individuals to compete. Leader’s logo or image is allowed, but with permission. Although political parties should not participate
However, some political groups may be concerned. But it is believed that eventually there will be a way to help the campaign, and the Election Commission will have to consider whether the underground methods will be more distressing than those seen on the ground. If politicians at the national level make it clear that they can support anyone, it would not be a problem.
For those who are related The husband, wife and applicant sleep in the same house as those who abide by the forbidden rules such as sitting and eating. Conduct together What criteria will the Election Commission use to determine in accordance with the law? Is it possible to make it public de facto or not? Or if the husband applies for the office of president, the PAO, the wife who is a government official or holds a political position, how can she not support her husband?
This makes the diagnosis very concerning. If there is a complaint, it should be noted whether the prohibition law applies equally to all interested parties. To be wrong, there is discrimination by framework or rule in the legal diagnosis because the Electoral Commission has a very broad framework of thought.
Therefore, the Election Commission of Thailand will have to use its discretion to determine future complaints..
