Embattled Thai Premier Yingluck Shinawatra on Sunday almost lost her own vote when she picked the wrong box to cast her ballot. Yingluck, 46, arrived at the polling station near her house here and accidentally put it in the wrong box.
The ballot papers for party-list votes are orange, while the ones for constituency voting are purple. She placed the orange party-list ballot in a box with a sign in Thai which said ‘constituency system’. She did the same with the purple constituency voting paper, putting it in another box that said ‘party-list system’. It was only after Yingluck left the polling station that the press began to notice the irregularities in the photos they had taken
