Section9.The works related to taxation, registration, and other matters which are being carried out in the districts under section 3 shall continue to be carried out in the same manner until changes are ordered. The revenue collected from the districts under section 3 from the day of entry into operation of this Act shall be sent through Bueng Kan Province.

Section10.For the purpose of the elections under section 109(1) of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, the Members of the House of People’s Representatives elected in Constituency 2 of Nong Khai Province since before the day of entry into operation of this Act shall be deemed to be the Members elected in Bueang Kan Province, and the Members of the House of People’s Representatives elected in Constituency 1 of Nong Khai Province since before the day of entry into operation of this Act shall be deemed to be the Members elected in Nong Khan Province.

Section11.The Members of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation Council from the constituencies under section 3 who are in office on the day of entry to operation of this Act shall become Members of the Bueng Kan Provincial Administrative Organisation Council and shall have their terms of office expire in line with the term of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation Council.

In addition, the terms of office of the Members of both Provincial Administrative Organisation Councils so elected shall expire in line with the term of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation Council.

For the elections of Members of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation Council and Members of the Bueng Kan Provincial Administrative Organisation Council according to paragraph 3, district areas shall be deemed to be constituencies until the terms of office of the Members of either Provincial Administrative Organisation Council expire in line with the term of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation Council or either Provincial Administrative Organisation Council is dissolved, and the eligible voters shall have the right to vote for the candidates in the number required for their district areas only. All these elections shall be conducted in accordance with the criteria and procedures designated by announcements of the Election Commission.

Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Since Nong Khai Province is a province that lies close to borders and has linear geographical features which render the communications between remote districts and the province difficult and require excessive time for travelling, it is appropriate to split Bueng Kan District, Seka District, So Phisai District, Bung Khla District, Bueng Khong Long District, Pak Khat District, Phon Charoen District, and Si Wilai District of Nong Khai Province from the administration of Nong Khai Province and incorporate them into Bueng Kan Province for the purposes of organising the administration, security maintenance, and convenience for the local people. It is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
