This Information Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) has been conducted to better understand information needs, access, flow and trusted sources of information among First Time Youth Voters (FTVS) of Myanmar who are expected to participate the upcoming general election in November 2020, according to Internews.

This assessment’s findings are drawn from a nationwide online survey and in-depth discussions with FTYV in Myanmar about how they get their information, how they engage and share information with their peers and what or who is influencing their choices for the different types of news and information sources.

Myanmar is holding its second open election on November 8. The previous election was held in 2015.
