Thailand has voted in an early election called after multiple coalition governments collapsed, giving the country three prime ministers in as many years.
Just like in 2023, this election pits those advocating far-reaching change, the People's Party, against conservative forces led by incumbent PM Anutin Charnavirakul.
When the young reformers won last time the military-appointed senate barred them from forming a government and the constitutional court dissolved the party. Powerful, unelected forces have repeatedly intervened to block parties challenging the status quo in Thailand.
Results will become clear around 22:00 local time (15:00 GMT), but no party is likely to win a majority.
The big question hanging over this election is how well the People's Party, which has been leading the polls, performs.
