UN monitors spread across Bangkok to watch polls

The Nation, Bangkok

Foreign observers representing the United Nations fanned out across the capital and its outskirts on Sunday to monitor the long-delayed election.

Four four-member teams wearing pale-blue vests were assigned to polling stations in Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani to monitor the electoral process, according to a UN official. The teams are watching for any issues that might occur as citizens freely exercise their democratic rights.
