Polls in Myanmar have closed after a third and final stage of voting in what are widely viewed as sham elections.
Many popular parties are banned from standing and voting has not been possible in large areas of the country because of a five-year-long civil war.
The dominant party backed by the ruling military junta is expected to win a landslide victory.
The current regime has rejected international criticism of the election, maintaining that it is free and fair.
Around one-fifth of the country's 330 townships, including the cities of Yangon and Mandalay, voted in the last stage.
