Claim: An image that claims to show strong support for Myanmar's ruling party in early overseas voting in South Korea has been shared thousands of times on Facebook. The claim is false: overseas voter registration was still ongoing when the misleading posts were published; Myanmar's Election Commission has not announced the official early voting date; Myanmar's Embassy in Seoul said the final overseas voter lists would not be announced until October 2020.
Fact-check: Early overseas voting does not show Myanmar's ruling party in the lead -- voter lists are still being finalised
