Of this number, 8,247 people registered to vote in advance within their constituencies, while 2,262,643 registered to vote from outside. Advance voting registrations in 2023 were considered record-breaking at the time. EC secretary-general Sawaeng Boonmee said calls to extend the period for out-of-area referendum voting could not be accommodated. Mr Sawaeng noted that the three-day registration window for out-of-area referendum voting provides each eligible voter with 4,320 minutes over that period to register.
