Myanmar's multi-party general election began across the country Sunday morning at 6 a.m. (local time) with 33.5 million eligible voters starting to go to polls and cast votes at respective polling stations.

In Yangon, eligible voters started queuing in front of polling stations in respective townships one hour before the clock struck six for ballot casting.

The 2015 general election is the second held in Myanmar after the previous military government handed over the state power to a civilian government in 2011 through the first election in 2010.

The election is being held under the secret polling system and closely monitored by more than 10,000 local and international observers.
