On 17 October 2015, a line of Myanmar nationals stretched more than a kilometre from their country's embassy in Singapore as they waited for advance-voting stations to open. Reuters documented the queue in a dated photographic record. Before election day at home, overseas voters converged on a single diplomatic site.

What distinguishes this line is that access to the ballot, far from the voters' constituencies, was concentrated at one embassy. Its kilometre-long scale reflected both enthusiasm for political participation and the narrow physical gateway provided for overseas voting.
