An eye on ballot counting
The People Power Party yesterday petitioned the Election Commission to allow it and other political parties to check the advance balloting cast by absentee voters at central polling stations nationwide on December 15-16.

"The party is concerned about possible foul play if no party representatives are present to witness the casting of advance ballots," PPP secretary-general Surapong Suebwonglee said yesterday.
In the past, parties did not dispatch representatives because of the marginal number of absentee voters, he said, noting a five-fold surge of 1.8 million voters for advance balloting.
He said his party wanted to ensure that balloting boxes were not tampered with before the tallying of votes on December 23.
