Aung San Suu Kyi is greeted outside a polling station in Kawhmu township

Aung San Suu Kyi is greeted outside a polling station in Kawhmu township April 1, 2012, where she stands as a candidate in parliamentary by-elections. Myanmar votes on Sunday in its third election in half a century, a crucial test of its nascent reform credentials that could propel opposition leader Suu Kyi into parliament and convince the West to end sanctions.
