“Srisuwan” filed a complaint, urging the Election Commission to ban the candidate for governor. BKK and MPs install campaign signs and trees blocking sidewalks
Srisuwan Chanya, president of the Association once morest Global Warming, said today that he has sent a complaint letter to the Election Commission (EC) requesting reform of the system for installing campaign signs for candidates for the BMA and the House of Representatives. .K. is broken so that the streets will not be filled with garbage from the eyes of various candidates’ campaign signs. Affects the use of footpaths and public traffic
As a result of the announcement of the Chairman of the Election Commission Set for the election of Bangkok Councilors (Sor. Kor.) and the Bangkok governor on March 25, 65, and the election date will be set on November 22, 65.
But as each candidate’s campaign began to mount “Battle signs” a lot around the sidewalk or footpath. which causes problems and obstacles in traffic including obscuring the visibility of a large number of drivers Especially the installation of campaign signs and trees on the sidewalk or footpath. which may cause damage to the trees of Bangkok
Now that Thailand is in the 5G era, election campaigns should not focus on doing it. “Summon signs” that must be installed on both sides of the road But should go for a vote with an information system is better. In the past, “campaign billboards” according to the Election Commission have as many as 3 forms: Type 1: Size 42 X 30 cm. 2nd place: size 1.30 X 2.45 m. (often being leaned once morest – tied to a tree – electric pole) Type 3: size 4 X 7.5 m. (only attached to party/group duties), which in this era should have only type 1 One is enough
According to Section 71 of the Election of Local Council Members or Local Administrators Act 2019 clearly stated “Posting announcements or placards relating to election campaigns can be done. only in place including the size and amount not exceeding that prescribed by the Election Commission or a person entrusted by the Election Commission.”
Therefore, the term “in place” is unlikely to refer to an open place. Areas of electric poles, trees, traffic light poles, etc., but only refers to places that are points designated by the Election Commission or those designated by the Election Commission, such as cut-out signs along the street or places inside public buildings. only suitable For example, a place to close a campaign sign in Japan. in which the size of the campaign billboard is set to only the size of the cutout board frame. and determine the installation location as an appropriate point only
In the past, election campaign signs have often caused a lot of trouble for Bangkok’s trees. which contradicts each candidate’s campaign policy Each party/group propaganda is environmentally friendly. But just install a campaign sign. Instead, it is already encroaching and destroying the trees of Bangkok. Like this will give people How can the BMA believe that Once these candidates win elections, they will be able to comply with their word, policy, or law.
