Therefore, it makes me feel comfortable about the management of the selection of Senators this time.

Ramintra Sports Center, Bang Khen District, and said Every step must be done with transparency, honesty, and fairness in order to get the elected District Senator to be forwarded to the provincial level on June 16th. As for concerns about vote manipulation, I believe it is difficult. Because each group must choose 1 representative to draw lots, which the possibility is only 1 in 4 and there will be a committee from the council coming to observe outside. Including the public being able to watch the selection through a live screen at every selection unit. If you find any observation points that indicate corruption not straightforward Can provide clues
The selection of District Senators this time will be divided into 2 rounds: Round 1: Voting for people in the same group. The top 5 people with the highest scores are the initial selection of that group and will go on to be selected in the 2nd round. Then in the (2nd round) voting will select people from other groups in the same line. The top 3 scorers from each
group are chosen at the district level.
However, from the inspection it was found that in various districts of Bangkok There are less than 5 applicants in each group, so there is no need to choose among themselves in the first round. But came late in the process of dividing lines and selecting in the 2nd round
