Wanchai Sornsiri, National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) panel member: Elections must be free from fraud. Mr Wanchai said the NRSA panel's proposals are aimed at ensuring elections are free from fraud. If the poll fraud results in a re-run of an election, the party leader and executives will be made to pay for the costs involved in holding a poll re-run, Mr Wanchai said. The NRSA panel has also proposed that a statue of limitations for poll candidates who committee poll fraud last 20 years, he added. He added the panel also suggested that the EC poll fraud investigators be given power under the Criminal Procedure Code to launch criminal investigations in poll fraud cases.
