Recommendations • Unequivocally reject the election: Publicly and formally declare that the 2025 election is illegitimate and that its results will not be recognised. Any attempt to treat the outcome as credible would betray the people of Myanmar and reward a regime responsible for atrocity crimes. • Withhold all electoral support: Refuse to provide any form of technical, financial, or political support for the electoral process. Do not send election observers, as their presence would be co-opted by the military to lend a false veneer of legitimacy to the sham. • Document, don't validate: Be mindful of the military's electoral “tricks.” Focus efforts on systematically documenting the human rights violations connected to the process, rather than observing the mechanics of a fraudulent vote. • Expose the illegitimacy: Use the predictable blueprint of repression outlined here to expose the illegitimacy of the process at every stage. Highlight the voices of those who are being silenced, disenfranchised, and terrorised by the military's electoral charade.
