Thailand began voting in its general election on Sunday, with polls opening at 8 a.m. local time and set to close at 5 p.m. The election features three main political blocs: reformist, military-backed conservative, and populist forces. Alongside the parliamentary vote, a national referendum on constitutional change is also being held. According to the Election Commission, more than 2.2 million people had already cast ballots during early voting that began on February 1.
The election takes place against a backdrop of sluggish economic growth and heightened nationalism. Although over 50 parties are contesting, only three — the reformist People’s Party, Bhumjaithai, and Pheu Thai — are seen as having the nationwide support to form a government. Thailand has 53 million registered voters for this election.
Surveys suggest no single party will win an outright majority in the 500-seat parliament, but the People’s Party, led by Nathaphong Ruangpanyawut, is projected to secure the most seats.
