Voters' Perceptions towards Transparency in General Elections: A Case Study of Dusit District, Bangkok in 2023.

Abstract

This study examines eligible voters' perspectives on the transparency of the 2023 general elections in the Dusit district of Bangkok and analyzes the impact of five factors: election laws, media freedom, the independence of the Election Commission, the clarity of ballot design, and election management. Data were collected through voter surveys and an analysis of relevant literature.

          The results show that clear ballot design enhances public confidence in elections, while transparent and efficient election management is crucial. Media freedom and clear election laws significantly influence voter perceptions. These findings can be used to improve election transparency, develop supportive laws and policies, and encourage media involvement in providing accurate information. This study is valuable for election agencies to address issues and educate the public on fair and transparent election processes.
