 There will later be a law providing for elections of Members in the Third Period, in respect of which a procedure will be implemented to allow the Members [sic] to directly elect their Representatives in the House.

The First Type Representatives shall be in office for a term of four years from the day they assume office. But once the Third Period has arrived, even though the Representatives in the Second Period have not yet been in office for the full four years, they must retire from office from the day the Representatives in the Third Period assume office.

If an office of Representative becomes vacant for any other reason than retirement by rotation, the [remaining] Members shall select another person for appointment as a new [Representative] to fill the vacancy. But the tenure of the new Representative shall only be equivalent to the time the retired person would be entitled to remain.

The people, regardless of the sexes, have the right to vote in selections of Village Representatives, if they have the following qualifications, namely—


 * 1) having full twenty years of age;
 * 2) not being incompetent or quasi-incompetent persons;
 * 3) not being subject to a court judgment declaring the loss of the right to vote;
 * 4) being Thai nationals according to the law.
