On August 30 at the Office of the Election Commission (ECT), the Internet for People’s Law project or iLaw along with the network led by Mr. Yingcheep Atchanon, manager of iLaw, Ms. Passaralee Thanakitwibulphol, the leader of the people’s group and the network of people’s groups to set up a constitution Bring a list of 212,139 people who signed up to submit questions for the referendum on the new constitution to the Election Commission.
The network representative said that this entry is very important. because everyone wants democracy want to amend the 2017 constitution by drafting a new one to be truly democratic The question of a referendum must be put forward by the people. because in the past people with political power set the question But this will be the first time that the public will ask the questions themselves. Signed by the people themselves We only needed 50,000 names, but we got more than 212,139 names, which would be an important first step towards amending the constitution. and lead to the draft The way for us to get a new constitution is still long. We expect that after submitting the list to the ECT, the ECT will work quickly and send it to the Cabinet. The Election Commission of Thailand checks the list for no more than 30 days, which we are not sure. How quickly will the Election Commission perform its duties? and when the inspection is complete It will send the list to the Secretariat of the Cabinet. to check one more time which here does not have a clear time frame that must be completed by when and was not convinced when the Secretariat The council has received a list Which agency will have to be sent for inspection? Or must it be sent to the Constitutional Court like other matters or not, it must be followed up
Mr. Yingcheep said that this time it was once again that the public had clearly proven and announced. That clerical obstacles can’t stop us from having the right to vote to offer what we want. Because from this phenomenon, it only takes us 3-4 days to enter the list into the Microsoft Excel system, which means that it is more difficult than this, we can do it and we are ready to do it. There is hope that makes me feel that the country and the people can go on. Please think that you have hope from your own actions cooperating, not iLaw or its networks. Hopefully the Election Commission will be faster than us. because we facilitate everything Submitted, you can complete the inspection. And put this proposal on the table before the first cabinet meeting. This is what we want to see. But this isn’t the last time we have to work hard to reach our goals. is the day we have a people’s constitution We still have to exert more and more strength. And as long as it is not reached, there will be challenging activities. Will try to get through it.
