The Military Junta Election Commission announced that it extended the deadline for Myanmar citizens abroad to vote in advance.
On September 12, 2025, the Military Junta Election Commission announced that it extended the deadline for Myanmar citizens abroad to vote in advance.
“I don’t care anything about it. In the past, I was so eager to vote that I waited for the voter list to see if my name was on the list, and then I jumped. If my name was on the list, I got an online Q number, and I was active. To be honest, I didn’t care about the extension. I think it was for the people who came to vote. Now, I don’t see anyone speaking their mind,”
a Myanmar citizen in Singapore told BBM. “Even though it’s an election in my country, I’m not interested in this fake election by the military dictatorship, I’m not supporting it, I’m not voting in advance,”
said a factory worker in Thailand.
“I’m not interested in the general election either. The main thing is to get Mother Suu released as soon as possible and get well as soon as possible. Here, Burmese people always gather and protest,”
a worker in South Korea said. The military junta has announced that the first round of the election will be held near the end of December, and Burmese embassies have reportedly distributed advance voting forms to Burmese citizens abroad.
