Sources: The Nation (Bangkok) and Thailand public holidays. Thailand's Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that, contrary to recent practice, it would not ask the government to declare a public holiday on Monday, March 3, 2008, the day after the senatorial election day.The EC felt it needed to make this announcement, as in recent national elections and referenda, Thailand had always declared the day after the polls (always held on a Sunday) as a public holiday to allow people the time to return from their home villages to the cities where they work (one must vote in one's home village, in Thailand).
