"Parties also face a dissolution order," the poll agency warned. EC member Sumet Upanisakorn quoted an EC lecturer pointing out to a new method of vote-buying through postal orders. “We know that over 200 people in the northern region have already been sent these postal orders worth about 1,000 baht each,” Sumet said. “The police are already on the case and if we find out that politicians were involved in this, their voting rights will immediately be revoked. Any political party involved in electoral fraud may face dissolution.”
