ElectionDay

01 FEBRUARY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Thai voter confronts an election worker with his ID card. The man was told he couldn't vote because protestors had blocked the polls. Thais went to the polls in a "snap election" Sunday called in December after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the parliament in the face of large anti-government protests in Bangkok. The anti-government opposition, led by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), called for a boycott of the election and threatened to disrupt voting. Many polling places in Bangkok were closed by protestors who blocked access to the polls or distribution of ballots. The result of the election are likely to be contested in the Thai Constitutional Court and may be invalidated because there won't be quorum in the Thai parliament. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
