In Kawhmu, a rural district south of Rangoon, elderly voters, perhaps those most used to an early wake-up, file into the voting booth.

They’re among the first to cast their ballots on an election that they hope will be the most credible that their country has seen in a generation.

For them, history weighs a that little bit heavier.
Among the list of choices on their ballot is the most recognisable name on the country, Aung San Suu Kyi.
