Voters believe election not clean, EC fails to fight cheatingAn electoral official shows a ballot during the vote count on the day of the general election at a polling station tent in Bangkok on Feb 8. (Photo: Reuters)Voters overwhelmingly felt the general election was unfair, a poll showed on Friday, with the organisers criticised for their lackluster performance in making it clean. King Prachadhipok's Institute's latest survey said 87.7% of people believed the Feb 8 election was either somewhat or totally unfair and only 12.3% were satisfied with the results. The survey also showed 67.6% of respondents were not satisfied with the performance of the Election Commission in preventing and tackling vote-buying, although the poll organisers were commended for selecting ballot-dropping stations and election facilities for voters. The survey was carried out from Feb 13-16 by asking 2,000 people above the age of 18 across all regions.
