- EC member Sittichot Indravised expects 3 Senate rigging cases in early Oct 2026 meeting
- Maintains the Election Commission is not divided and all members remain good colleagues
- Confirms all 3 case files have already passed through the 26th sub-committee
On September 30, 2026, at the Office of the Royal Society, Election Commissioner Sittichot Indravised gave an interview regarding the progress of reviewing three additional case files concerning suspected rigging in the Senatorial elections, noting that the EC President is accelerating the process.
Mr. Sittichot estimated that these three legal files should be ready to enter the main Election Commission meeting for consideration within the early days of October 2026, assuring that everything is proceeding according to standard administrative procedures.

Regarding the current procedural status of the dossiers, Mr. Sittichot disclosed that they have already passed through the deliberation of the 26th sub-committee of inquiry. However, he noted he was uncertain whether they had successfully cleared the screening committee stage yet, though once cleared, they can be tabled without any issues.
The Election Commission's case review process typically involves multiple multi-tier screening steps, moving from investigative sub-committees to screening boards before reaching the full board for a final vote. High-profile electoral fraud cases draw significant public scrutiny regarding administrative transparency.
Addressing concerns that public expressions of differing opinions might be interpreted as internal friction or a rift within the Election Commission, Mr. Sittichot firmly dismissed such claims, explaining that different viewpoints are restricted strictly to specific topics.
“All senior members are good people. It does not affect our future collaboration.”

Mr. Sittichot reiterated in closing that differing opinions on certain matters will not hinder future cooperation among commissioners, as everyone continues to fulfill their institutional duties. Regarding the specific contents of the three files, he stated he has not yet personally reviewed the dossiers and therefore cannot provide further details at this stage.
