Election officials: Thailand voting to take time
Damian Grammaticas reports from
Bangkok on those desperate to vote, and the thugs chasing them off
Thai election officials have warned that it could take several weeks to re-stage voting in areas where Sunday's election was disrupted by protesters.
The anti-government protesters halted voting in parts of
Bangkok and the south by blockading polling stations.
Their actions rendered millions of people unable to vote.
The ruling party of Yingluck Shinawatra is expected to win the election but legal challenges and a lack of MPs may create a political limbo.
The disruption means not all seats in parliament will be filled, requiring by-elections in many places.
The government wants elections that were disrupted to be re-run as soon as possible - a new parliament cannot sit until 95% of seats have been filled, reports the BBC's Jonathan Head.
But the official election commission has warned it may take weeks to hold by-elections in so many constituencies.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra called the snap election after a sustained campaign by the protesters. She said on Sunday that going to the polls had been the right thing to do.
"At least I think at this election it is very important that people come out to vote for their right to democracy, " she said.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, however, told supporters late on Sunday he was "confident this election won't lead to the formation of a new government".
Thailand's Election Commission said six million voters were affected by disruption on Sunday, but 89% of polling stations operated normally.
