Thailand Confirms Date For Senate Election

hailand on Monday announced details of its senate election next month, the first poll for the upper house since a military coup a decade ago.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin's cabinet approved plans for the complex, multi-round election -- which does not include a full public vote -- last month.

The Election Commission of Thailand confirmed there will be three rounds of voting, on June 9, 16 and 26, with only those applying to become senators eligible to cast ballots.

The new senate will no longer vote to approve the prime minister after an election.
