In July 2025, Myanmar’s military junta enacted the “Law on the Protection of Multiparty Democratic General Elections from Obstruction, Disruption, and Destruction”, popularly known as the Election Protection Law. It imposes death penalty or life imprisonment for those who damage ballot boxes, 10-20 years imprisonment for those who cause “Serious injury” to voters and 3-10 years of imprisonment for those who try to sabotage election in any way.
