The commission said unofficial results just 30 minutes before midnight, eight hours after the polling officially closed at 4 p.m.(0900GMT) Sunday, show the majority of voters favor the new charter.
    The tally recorded some 25 million votes out of a total of some 46 million eligible voters throughout Thailand, who have been urged by the government to exercise their rights in the unprecedented referendum.
    Among the counted votes cast in 88,000 polling stations across 76 provinces of Thailand, including Bangkok, 56.7 percent voted for the charter draft, with 41.4 percent against; 1.9 percent of the votes were deemed invalid.
    Bangkok, the capital, counted 64.5 percent "Yes" votes and 34.4percent "No" votes.
    The other 25 provinces in the central region recorded 66 percent "Yes" votes and 32 percent "No" votes.                     A Thai Muslim woman casts her ballot at       a polling station in Thailand's Yala province, around 1084 km (672 miles)       south of Bangkok August 19, 2007.

    Over 86 percent of voters in the South voted for and 11 percent against.
    Although the Northern and Northeastern regions were both considered the traditional voter base for ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his now-defunct Thai Rak Thai Party, initial results displayed mixed outcomes in the two regions.
    In the North, supporters of the military-backed charter draft --52 percent, outnumbered opponents, 46 percent, while the Northeast counted 62 percent opponents and 36 percent supporters.
    The initial results turned out a less impressive margin than earlier exit polls, which showed around 70 percent "Yes" votes.
    Official results of the referendum are expected to be released on Monday afternoon.
Tally shows majority voter turnout
BANGKOK, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Updated tallying results have shown a slight majority of voters across Thailand approved the new constitution draft in Thailand's first-ever national referendum held on Sunday, with a voter turnout of over 50 percent.
Over 23 million votes have been counted, out of the total of less than 46 million eligible voters nationwide, according to the updated tallying results released by media by 10 p.m. local time (1500 GMT), six hours after the polling officially closed at 4 p.m. local time (0900 GMT) earlier Sunday.
