POLITICS: BANGKOK- EC likely to go for March 10 poll Likely to announce date by Jan 25
The Election Commission is leaning towards making an announcement next Friday that the election will be on March 10.
.
.
The Election Commission (EC) is highly likely to select March 10 as the election date as it has agreed that the 150-day deadline for the general election to be completed as set by the charter should include the poll results endorsement.
.
Under the constitution, the general election must be completed within 150 days of the organic law governing the election of MPs taking effect on Dec 11, or by May 9.

Still, the charter’s use of the term “to be completed” is problematic, as it is not clear if this refers to the vote itself or the endorsement of the results. Even the government’s legal experts seem unable to answer this clearly.
.
Some members of the now-defunct Constitution Drafting Committee said the term “completed” stipulated in the charter should not include the endorsement of poll results but just the voting process.
