THE 2020 General Election was successfully organized on 8 November and the Union Election Commission (UEC) has been announcing the list of elected Hluttaw representatives since 9 November.

Election announcements were previously made three times a day at 12 pm, 4 pm and 8 pm but they are increased to four times a day, with the addition of a 9 am announcement, starting from 11 November, said U Khin Maung Oo, DirectorGeneral of the UEC office.

The Director-General said they are increasing the announcement times to ensure faster and more comprehen-sive dissemination of information.

The various election sub-commissions across the states and regions continuously update results to the UEC who announce it on television, radio, newspapers, the UEC’s website and Facebook page after careful scrutiny.

“It’s important for the information the UEC is releasing to be accurate and correct,” said U Khin Maung Oo. “We gather the results from polling stations at the township level or at the district level for Amyotha Hluttaw seats. Then we compile them at the state or regional level and analyze them before distribution. The state and regional subcommissions are allowed to announce their results, and they forward them to the UEC simultaneously.”
