Presidential Electoral College


The Presidential Electoral College is an electoral college made up of MPs that elects the President of Myanmar.

Composition

It consists of three separate committees:
  1. MPs who represent the proportions of MPs elected from each Region or State
  2. MPs who represent the proportions of MPs elected from each township population
  3. Military-appointed MPs personally nominated by the Tatmadaw Commander-in-Chief

Nomination and selection

Each of the three committees nominate a presidential candidate. Afterward, all the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw MPs vote for one of three candidates—the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected President, while the other two are elected as Vice Presidents. The Vice Presidents are designated as First and Second Vice President based on who received the second and third highest number of votes.
