Myanmar has opened a second round of voting in the country’s first general election since a takeover that installed a military government five years ago. The voting Sunday expanded to additional townships including some areas affected by the civil war between the military government and its armed opponents. Polling stations opened in 100 townships. Many of the areas have seen clashes in recent months or remain under heightened security. The election is being held in three phases due to the civil war. The first round took place Dec. 28. Critics say the polls organized by the military government are neither free nor fair.
