Voters threatened to vote for the USDP in Pegu Division and told roads would be built if USDP wins (ပဲခူးတစ္ေနရာတြင္ မဲေပးသူမ်ားကို ၾကံ့ဖြံ႕အား မဲေပးရန္ျခိမ္းေျခာက္ျပီး၊ ၾကံ့ဖြံ႕ အႏိုင္ရရွိပါက လမ္းမ်ားေဖာက္ေပးမည္ဟုဆို)

A voter in Pegu Division said: "I did hear about election. I saw a brochure on my fence. There were lion logo and rice branch logo on them. I returned home and voted. Not that I felt glad but like duty that I had to complete. There were more USDP members persuading voters. They were telling people to vote for them. Guards included firefighters and other officers. Polling station was at the primary school. There were a fair number of voters. There of my family member voted. My grandpa voted for the rice branch (NUP). There are no positive outcomes from voting for the lion (USDP). If we vote for rice brand (NUP) maybe it will be good for farmers. Voters were threatened that they would be arrested if they didn’t vote for USDP and promised that roads would be built if USDP won. WPDC senior officers collected household registration and ID numbers. For me, I did not cast advance vote. Teachers had to cast advance votes 3-4 days ahead of the election. There was no partition where people voted. It was not private."
