Than Shwe votes in Nay Pyi Taw

Than Shwe votes in Nay Pyi Taw

Former Myanmar leader Senior General Than Shwe and his wife cast their votes in Nay Pyi Taw's Pobbathiri Township on Saturday. Also voting on the day were a team of 10 former senior leaders including Deputy Senior General Maung Aye, Thiha Thura Tin Aung

The votes were collected from their houses. 
A few days before the election, National League for Democracy Lower House candidate Yee Mon for the constituency said the final voter list for the township included more than 10,000 extra names.
The revised voter list had more than 59,000 voters, but the final roll had nearly 73,000 voters. She said the commission could not provide the addresses of the extra voters.
The added names are reportedly from new wards with few residents and thousands of empty homes.
The township’s 2012 voter list included about 54,000 names.
