Thailand's Election Commission (EC) expected the unofficial result of the Dec. 23 election to be known before midnight of the same day, local media reported.
Prapan Naikowit, one of the EC commissioners, said on Saturday that the initial polling result is likely to be known before midnight of Sunday, only 9 hours after the close of the general election polling.
He also promised a free and fair election. "We want every party to rest assured," Prapan was quoted by the Bangkok Post's webnews as saying.
Thailand will hold its first general election after last year's military coup on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time. More than 5,000 candidates from some 40 parties will contest for the 480 parliament seats.
