BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai election officials struggled on Thursday to shore up a chaotic weekend ballot disrupted by anti-government protesters who blocked polling stations and stopping people voting in nearly a quarter of the country.

They met for two hours but adjourned without making progress, saying "legal issues" had to be clarified and they would meet again on Friday.
