“ Since Nong Khai Province lies along the borderline with geographical characters of long range, communication between remote districts and the Province always meets with difficulty and takes an immoderately long period of time. In order to smoothly organise public administration, maintain security and provide convenience to local inhabitants, 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 should be removed from Nong Khai provincial administration to form Bueng Kan Province. ”

“ In electing the Councillors of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation and the Councillors of the Bueng Kan Provincial Administrative Organisation, the constituencies shall still be determined by district areas, until the Councillors of both Provincial Administrative Organisations vacate their offices upon expiry of the Council of the Nong Khai Provincial Administrative Organisation or until dissolution of either Council. The eligible voters shall be entitled to vote for the candidates according to the existing vacancies on the basis of their districts. ”
