The commission said vote count reports could now be checked on its ectreport69 website or on the websites of EC offices in every province and Bangkok, for all 400 constituencies, reports the Bangkok Post.
The available information includes reports of vote counts for constituency and party-list MPs, which can be checked by polling unit, of which there were nearly 100,000 nationwide.
It said counts were still not complete in some constituencies because recounts or new votes were required at some polling stations. They are not expected to materially change the overall results.
On Tuesday the EC ordered vote recounts at eight locations including one in Bangkok, and a fresh election at one polling station in Phayao.
Officially, the commission has up to 60 days from polling day to certify the results, but it is being pressed to do so as quickly as posible in order to reduce the delay in forming a new government.
Many complaints
The EC faces a flood of complaints about its handling of the Feb 8 polls, with some legal actions already under way to press for the election results to be annulled and new polls held nationwide.
Voters and political parties have flagged thousands of instances, ranging from discrepancies between the number of ballots cast and the number of voters recorded, mishandling of ballots and ballot boxes, discrepancies in vote totals and online updates, and misbehaviour by polling officials.
The EC did yesterday reaffirm the confidentiality of ballots, with provincial election officials adamant that voting secrecy remains fully protected under legal safeguards and administrative procedures, amid growing public debate over the use of QR codes and barcodes on ballot papers.
Kongyos Boonrak, director of the EC office in Kamphaeng Phet, defended the integrity of the system, declaring in a Facebook post that he would resign if anyone could prove they could identify how an individual voted.
“I challenge anyone to break the secrecy of Kamphaeng Phet ballots and show which ballot belongs to whom and who they voted for. If that happens, I will resign,” he wrote.
Mr Kongyos explained that while some critics argue that ballots must be completely untraceable, the law provides specific provisions to ensure voting secrecy even in special circumstances.
He cited Section 92 of the organic law on the election of MPs, which allows polling station officials to assist elderly or disabled voters in marking ballots when necessary, while still preserving the principle of secret voting.
He said ballot secrecy is ensured by strict legal and procedural safeguards after voting, including secure storage, sealing, and controlled handling, rather than relying solely on physical anonymity.
Meanwhile, Manas Suwanrin, deputy governor of Nakhon Ratchasima, also addressed public concerns over QR codes and barcodes appearing on ballots, arguing that their presence does not undermine secrecy.
In a social media post, he compared the system to lottery tickets, which contain identifiable codes but do not automatically reveal the buyer’s identity to the public.
He said the term “secret ballot” refers to the act of voting itself, meaning no one can see or know how a person marks their ballot at the time of voting, and voters are prohibited from photographing or disclosing their choices.
Mr Manas said ordinary individuals cannot access ballot data or trace voting choices, and doing so would require unlawful access and deliberate misconduct by officials.
He said election materials are subject to strict legal protections, and any breach of confidentiality would constitute both a disciplinary and a criminal offence.
He added that tracing ballots would require coordinated wrongdoing involving multiple layers of security breaches, including accessing sealed ballot boxes, retrieving and scanning ballots, and cross-referencing restricted data.
Separately, the EC said it had ordered new vote counts and fresh voting at several polling stations to ensure transparency and accuracy.
These include a new referendum vote count at one polling station in Bangkok’s Khan Na Yao district scheduled for this Sunday, as well as recounts at seven polling stations in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phetchabun, Kamphaeng Phet and Sakon Nakhon.
In addition, new voting for both constituency and party-list ballots will be held at one polling station in Phayao province.
