MYANMAR JUNTA’S PLANNED ELECTIONS: FALLING SHORT OF DEMOCRATIC LEGITIMACY The methodology for this assessment included a review of electionrelated developments in Myanmar and dozens of interviews with civil society, media, pro-democracy institutions, and political parties, including several that will compete in the upcoming elections. ANFREL has been working in Myanmar for nearly two decades, and observed the 2015 and 2020 general elections, as well as the 2017 and 2018 byelections. In parallel with this report, ANFREL will continue working with NGOs and civil society organizations in Myanmar, across Asia, and internationally to uphold democratic principles and to draw attention to the challenges and risks surrounding the junta’s planned elections.
