Suu Kyi listed as Myanmar begins releasing voters' roll
Myanmar's military authorities began Friday to pin up voters' lists for the referendum on their proposed constitution, and confirmed that opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi would be allowed to vote.
But an official said they would not release the full list as a single document or the total number of eligible voters until after the May 10 poll.
"We will announce the list of all eligible voters after the referendum," said an information official who did not want to be named.
State media did not mention that any lists were going up on Friday, and only some local administrative offices were displaying the voters' roll.
People on the streets of the economic hub Yangon said they heard through word of mouth that some townships were displaying the lists, which were compiled after the authorities carried out house-to-house voter registration.
"I will go to check as I heard the voters' lists were released at the ward office," said one female resident.
