So the EC says he can vote. I thought the voting was decided where your family is from and he and his family are from Chaing Mia? I admit I do not know how voting in Thailand works for governor of Bangkok.

Besides the obvious reasons he shouldn't be allowed to vote, I never considered that. You do have to go back to wherever your blue book registration lists you and vote there. I remember Bangkok emptying out during elections because of this.

My wife changed her name after we got married. In order to change her name on her ID card, she had to go back to the Amphur where she's listed on the blue book to do it. 10 hour bus ride. The same seems to apply to voting.

Just in case there's any doubt where the EC's loyalties lie:

Election Commission chairman Apichart Sukhagganond has admitted the EC had discussed inviting ex-pm Thaksin Shinawatra as a guest speaker for class 4 students in the EC's advanced course on political development and elections.

Apichart said the students had proposed Thaksin give his talk through Skype and he thought there was nothing wrong about the idea as students should get well-rounded opinions for the political development of the country.

Election Commissioner Sodsri Satayatham said the EC committee in charge of drawing up a curriculum for the course invited Squadron Leader Prasong Sunsiri as guest speaker. Students said, hoping for well-rounded information, they wanted to hear from Thaksin also.

She said the decision whether to invite Thaksin rested with the committee in charge of curriculum and the five EC commissioners. She said the committee had not yet reached any decision on the matter.
