BANGKOK (Xinhua) - Around 12 million out of a total of 48.77 million eligible voters in Thailand failed to exercise their voting rights during today's general election, which concluded at 3 p.m. local time, media reported.

The 12 million voters are distributed in 53 constituencies where polling stations were closed today due to disruption from anti-government protesters, along with 28 constituencies that lack constituency-based candidates, according to the Nation channel.
