Teerachai told a meeting of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) that Prime MinisterPrayut Chan-o-cha wanted him to explain about the role of the students in educating the public about the significance of a referendum on the charter draft.

The students also explain to the people about reform content in the charter draft.

Questions raised by the public would be answered during the programme “Decipher the Charter”.

The students have been doing the fieldwork for two months and are following the regulations on a public referendum, he said. “We know what we are doing. They are not going to stand in front of polling booths on the voting date. We just want the people to exercise their voting right as much as possible regardless of whether they want to vote No, or Yes,” he said. Isoc would also seek cooperation from local leaders like kamnans and village heads to explain the significance and impact of the charter draft on the people.
