Voting

We collect voting data from both the House of Representatives and the Senate using VoteEvent to represent voting events and Vote to represent the casting of votes by each Person.

The voting options (property option in Vote) in parliamentary votes generally have 5 formats:

  1. Agree (เห็นด้วย)
  2. Disagree (ไม่เห็นด้วย)
  3. Abstain (งดออกเสียง)
  4. No Vote (ไม่ลงคะแนนเสียง)
  5. Absent (ลา / ขาดลงมติ)

For example, the draft Budget Act 2021 (Section 3) and the voting of the 20 sample participants.

The House Representatives’ votes are automatically retrieved from the Parliament Secretariat Database and Records System every week by the automation system.

  • The data is scraped, OCR’d, and checked for inconsistencies. If it passes verification, the vote will have a publish_status of PUBLISHED and will be made publicly available.
  • However, if errors are found, the publish_status will be ERROR, and it will not be displayed to the public until the team fixes it and changes the status back to PUBLISHED.

The Senate’s votes are not yet publicly available online, so we will not be able to update the data consistently.
