Introduction Election Coverage Analysis & Party Details     Vote Tally: Nation-wide vote tally Regional vote tally Bangkok total vote tally Bangkok vote by constituencies	Ballot boxes arrive unsealed The candidate for the Democrat party in Yannawa, Korn Jartikawanit, yesterday filed an immediate petition to the Election Commission (EC), to stop the ballot count for fear of tampering. Ballot boxes from booths 38, 41 and 49 were found unsealed when they arrived at the constituency's voting station late last night. ``EC officials told me they ran out of official cellophane tape to seal all the boxes, which to me seems very suspicious,'' Mr Korn said. Justice Minister Pongthep Thepkanchana, who arrived on the scene with Mr Korn's Thai Rak Thai rival, Danuporn Punnakan, said all the EC officials were from city hall and Thai Rak Thai were not ``sponsoring'' these people in any way. Pol Maj-Gen Ekachai Warunprapha, EC secretary-general, allowed the counting to continue. He said if Mr Korn had any misgivings he could file a protest with the EC governing body for a re-vote.
