Political parties have yet to sign Form 19 for official poll results of the election. Township Commission Chairman U Ye Myint Pe confirmed that signatures haven’t been signed on Form 19 for these results stating that he will submit an objection letter written by four parties to the Union Election Commission disputing a incident where advanced voting for three parliament and ethnics affairs positions were reportedly sent from outside the Taunggyi constituency. The objection letter was hand delivered to Township Election Commission Chairman U Ye Pe at 4 pm on Nov. 9.
