The Thai government initially clarified voting regulations for the Social Security Board election scheduled for September 27, 2026. Under these rules, insured persons were permitted to use private personal notes to remember candidate numbers but were strictly prohibited from bringing campaign materials into polling stations.

However, the election was subsequently postponed to October 11, 2026. The Social Security Office's election committee cited heavy rainfall and flooding across 21 provinces as the reason for the delay, noting that weather conditions could hinder travel and disrupt official duties. The postponement followed calls from labor networks and political representatives who argued that severe flooding would compromise safety and disenfranchise victims in affected areas.
