Phuket OrBorTor to go to the polls
PHUKET: The four-year terms of 11 Tambon Administration Organizations (OrBorTor) in Phuket will end on August 29. Elections for new OrBorTor councilors and Presidents must be held within 45 days of dissolution.
The 11 tambon are Wichit, Rawai, Chalong, Rassada, Koh Kaew; Kamala, Mai Khao, Srisoonthorn, Cherng Talay, Sakoo and Thepkrasattri.
The Phuket Election Commission (PEC) has announced that the elections are likely to be held before October 12, although a date has yet to be set.
The elections will mark the first time constituents in the 11 sub-districts will have voted directly for OrBorTor Presidents, who will serve four-year terms.
OrBorTor elections in Tambon Pa Khlok, the island’s 12th tambon, were held two years ago under the new rules.
As with the previous round of elections, each voter will be required to cross off the number of his chosen candidates on the ballot before depositing it into the ballot box under the watchful eye of a PEC official.
