THE ceremony to launch the website and mobile application presenting findings on fraud and illegal practices from the 2020 Multiparty Democracy General Election took place yesterday morning at the Union Election Commission (UEC) office meeting hall.
During the event, UEC Chairman U Ko Ko highlighted that the 2020 election was marred by significant voter list discrepancies, fraud, and illegal activities. He stated that the election did not comply with the Constitution, UEC laws, or election-related laws and regulations. As a result, the election results were annulled. To disseminate these findings to the public, the commission published books in five languages: Myanmar, English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese.
To prevent similar incidents in future elections and to provide accessible information for both domestic and international audiences, a multilingual website and mobile application were developed. The project involved representatives from the UEC, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Information, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, under the guidance of a committee established by the State Administration Council.
This initiative, which included seven key stages, was implemented from the second week of July to the second week of November 2024. The website and application, now fully operational, allow users to access the findings with ease.
Following the opening speech, UEC Member U Khin Maung Oo detailed the development process of the website and application. A video clip showcasing the process was also presented. The UEC Chairman officially launched the website by pressing a digital touch screen, marking the culmination of the ceremony.
Attendees included UEC members, officials from the UEC office, representatives from the relevant ministries involved in the project, members of the defence ministry, and other staff members. — MNA/KZL
