Lower House of the Parliament has approved three bills amending the election law for the fifth time. 

Parliamentary approval came at a meeting of the Lower House held in Nay Pyi Taw on December 4. 

The amended version carries a provision that a letter of objection to an elected parliamentary representative can be submitted only by his or her rival representative or voters from the concerned constituency.

The Lower House approved the bills as earlier approved by the Upper House. 

Three military MPs also proposed to amend the law saying that any voter from a constituency concerned can file a complaint against an elected parliamentary representative. However, their proposal was voted down. 

"In our country's politics, there are 96 political parties. All of them cannot compete in every township. In some townships, only two or three parties can compete. Parliamentary candidates have to run for election as ordered by their respective parties. They may not live in their constituencies. Voters may not know details about the candidates they will vote for. So, voters have the right to choose freely. It is like;y that they have to vote for candidates from certain parties even though they may not know or support them," said Military MP Major Zin Lin. 

The original election law of the Lower House, the Upper House or Region / State Parliament said that a letter of objection to an elected parliamentary representative cold be submitted from any voters from the constituency concerned. 

The Upper House approved the latest bills to amend the law and sent a report to the Lower House for further approval on November 22.
