Thai election ends, results to be announced after by-election

Voting in Thailand's tense general elections ended at 3pm today and ballot counting has begun.

The counting results will not be announced today. The results of the election will be sent to the Election Commission (EC) and be released after the finish of by-elections for advance voting and for blocked polling stations.

Around 12 million out of a total of 48.77 million eligible voters in Thailand failed to exercise their voting rights during today's general elections, local media reported.

The 12 million voters are in 53 constituencies where polling stations were closed due to disruption from anti-government protesters, along with 28 constituencies that lack constituency- based candidates, according to the Nation channel.

The by-elections are scheduled to be held on February 23.
