Exit Polls Show Thais Approve Draft Constitution (VOA News, 19 August 2007)

Exit polls from Thailand's referendum on a draft constitution suggest voters have accepted the military-backed charter.

A polling agency, Suan Dusit, reports that 68 percent of voters said they approved the new constitution Sunday. [...]

The draft constitution reduces the number of parliamentary seats and limits the prime minister's time in office. Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont has said if the constitution is approved, general elections will be held in December.
