Mr. Tosak Chotimongkol, Chairman of Advisor to the Governor of Bangkok It said that the ECT has added two useful processes: having polling staff take photos of the 5/18 model and send them to verify the accuracy first. will improve transparency

The second part is that there is an announcement posted on the ballot box so that the person who will vote can see clearly which box for the ballot papers. Which chest is for the party ballot? This is to prevent confusion in casting ballots.

for using AI helps count scores which captures the numbers written down The problem is that when the election is over, the vote counting will be in the evening, in the evening, the lights will be dark when taking pictures is not clear. It’s quite difficult to read. From the latest experiment in the morning, it was about 30% because it was reading from the handwriting that was scored in the 5/18 format, trying to import more data.
