La constitución de Tailandia fue redactada en 2017 por el gobierno de la junta militar. Aunque fue aprobada mediante referéndum, la Constitución de 2017 sigue siendo muy impopular debido a su origen.

Thailand has made several efforts to reform key aspects of its political finance system, including regulations relating to funding for political parties and election campaigns. Yet, several challenges remain that merit constant improvements and innovation to regulate political finance and put appropriate systems and processes in place to ensure enforcement.

La Segunda Vuelta Electoral (SVE), doble vuelta electoral o balotaje, es una variante de las fórmulas electorales de mayoría, y en América Latina (AL) su incorporación a los sistemas electorales se ha focalizado sobre todo en las elecciones presidenciales, aunque existen países que la contemplan también para otros cargos, casi siempre ejecutivos.

A third of the global economy is forecast to be in recession this year.
