In Thailand, a 24-hour alcohol ban has been implemented lasting from 6 PM local time today until 6 PM on Sunday, coinciding with the weekend of parliamentary elections. This prohibition comes as part of a long-standing electoral law aimed at preventing vote buying and maintaining public order, and was previously enforced during advance voting last Saturday. The ban restricts the sale, purchase, and donation of alcoholic beverages in order to uphold the integrity of the electoral process and avoid any undue influences during the election.
