"1. On 8th November 2020, the multi-party democratic general election was held in accordance with the Election Laws and Rules by the Union Election Commission in a free and fair manner and was actively voted by the citizens with a strong desire for democracy even during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. 2. In the election, 1117 seats out of 1171 constituencies were successfully voted for Pyithu Hluttaw, Amyotha Hluttaw and Regional/State Hluttaws and there were a total of 5639 candidates from all the political parties and independent members.
