Across Myanmar, ongoing clashes between the military and resistance forces are a major topic in online social media discussions. Users say active fighting in many regions makes voting unrealistic, unsafe, and disconnected from daily reality.
Public sentiment is worried and dismissive. Many social media users argue that elections cannot function while towns face airstrikes, displacement, and travel restrictions. Online conversations suggest people are focused on safety and survival, not ballots.
Common user-style comments include:
“There is fighting everywhere. Who is thinking about voting?”
“Ballots don’t stop bombs.”
“War first, election later.”
“You can’t vote under airstrikes.”
Some users point out that conflict areas will be excluded or tightly controlled, which they say distorts any turnout claims. Others argue that holding elections during nationwide conflict deepens mistrust and fear.
