Irrawaddy citizen reports widespread fraud by USDP (ဧရာဝတီတိုင္း ေဒသခံတစ္ဦးမွ ၾကံ့ဖြံ႕ပါတီ လိမ္လည္မႈအမ်ားအျပား ၾကဴးလြန္ေၾကာင္းေျပာ)

A voter spoke with Burma Election Tracker and said: "There was intimidation and forced voting. People in the villages also said they were given presents and money. The USDP told voters to vote for them at the polling station. The uneducated people were convinced by the USDP. We also realized that the USDP had many advance votes. The USDP conducted a census of elderly people and counted them all as advance votes. I do not think significant changes will occur after the election. This is just to change the name [of the government]."

The complaints listed here are commonly reported by citizens from all parts of Burma.
