About 34.8 million voters among 47 million eligible voters turned out, accounting for around 74 percent. About 3 percent voted "no" or did not vote anyone.
The counts also showed that the average rate of void ballots was at about 4-5 percent, which is not much different from the last general election, the EC secretary-general said.
The EC will endorse the election result in seven days, he said.
According to Thai law, within 30 days after the EC endorses the election result, the newly-elected MPs will have to hold a session to elect the prime minister.
Yingluck Shinawatra, Pheu Thai's prime minister candidate, is expected to be supported by almost 300 MPs from a five-party coalition, to be the first female prime minister of Thailand.
