Thai vote in Cambodia 'is secured'Listen to this articleThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) yesterday confirmed it is fully prepared to handle advance voting for Thai nationals in Cambodia, saying that ballot delivery would be unaffected by Thai-Cambodian border tensions. Mungkorn Pratoomkaew, director-general of the Consular Affairs Department, said voting arrangements for Thais in Cambodia posed no problem as the number of Thai voters there was relatively small, estimated at only a few hundred. The ballots and election materials would be transported by air, not through land border crossings, Mr Mungkorn stated. The confirmation came as the Election Commission (EC) began dispatching election materials and referendum ballots yesterday to 67 countries, covering 95 embassies and consulates worldwide. There are no registered voters in Ukraine and Venezuela for either the general election or the referendum, the MFA official said.
