Myanmar Elections LIVE: Myanmar Polls Open as Military Holds First Election Since 2021 Coup

Myanmar begins its first general election since the 2021 military coup, with voting starting in Naypyitaw amid ongoing civil war and security concerns. Over 50,000 electronic voting machines are used, while voters dip their fingers in indelible ink to prevent fraud. The military-aligned USDP is the frontrunner, as anti-junta parties, including Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD, are barred from participation. Fighting prevents elections in some areas, and the UN calls the environment one of violence and repression. The country faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 3.6 million displaced, high malnutrition rates among children, and acute hunger affecting millions. The economy struggles, but GDP may rebound to 3%, and Russia signs energy deals with Myanmar.
