Elections are coming up hard and fast. Union Election Commission UEC Chairman Ko Ko presided over a meeting on the successful holding of the election in Nay Pyi Taw.
Speaking at the event, the Commission Chairman said that in order to ensure that voters can cast their votes correctly and easily and to prevent electoral fraud, efforts are being made to implement the use of voting machines nationwide in the upcoming election.
Voting machines necessary for the election are currently being produced, and the machines that have already been produced are being systematically transported, stored, and maintained to prevent damage, and are being sent to the respective regions and states. As the election will be held in phases, arrangements are being made to systematically transfer the voting machines between townships within the designated timeframe.
The commission vice-chairman and members, the Nay Pyi Taw Council members, regional and state chief ministers and experts discussed training courses for poll staff who will use the voting machines, usage and transfer of MEVM (Myanmar’s Electronic Voting Machine).
