Myanmar Votes 2020

The current restricted environment for CSOs, especially those advocating on human rights and accountability, is almost certain to continue in post-2020 Myanmar.

In 2020 the role of the Union Election Commission and election monitoring seems increasingly politicised.

Myanmar must face its second competitive election in the context of a global recession and under the shadow of a ruthless pandemic.

Persistent adherence to the written rules makes Mynamar's vulnerable to authoritarian tendencies and threatens a fragile democracy.
