The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) opens registration on Thursday for candidates contesting the June 28 Bangkok governor and city council elections, with a budget of 294.1 million baht allocated for the polls.
City officials expect voter turnout to exceed the roughly 60% recorded in the 2022 election as the number of eligible voters rises across the capital.
Bangkok city clerk Narong Ruangsri, who also serves as the capital's local election director, said the election will include 50 constituencies for Bangkok council seats and a single constituency for the governorship.
