YANGON (Reuters) - Huddled in an open-plan office atop a tower block in Yangon's scruffy downtown, a group of teenagers in jeans and T-shirts sifts through the list of candidates in Myanmar's election and stares at their computer screens and mobile phones.

Meet Team Pop Stack, which has just launched Myanmar's first ever election app, and is racing to spread the word. The coders who built the app, MVoter2015, are all younger than 20.
