All eyes will be on whether an election bill that would provide small political parties with a greater chance to win list-MP seats can pass the third and final reading in parliament today amid fears a rescheduled parliament joint session may be cancelled again due to a lack of quorum.
On Thursday, Parliament President Chuan Leekpai ordered a special joint meeting of MPs and senators to be held today, which is the deadline for lawmakers to vote on the amendment of an election bill that supports a calculation of the numbers of list MPs by dividing all votes for list MPs by 500 as the divisor.
Today is the 180-day deadline for the bill to be passed.
