Kamayut District (Burmese: ကမာရွတ်ခရိုင်) is a District in Yangon Region, Myanmar. It is a township of Yangon and contains two townships. The district was created in 2022, being one of the new districts created from the former West Yangon District.[1]
The district has two townships- Kamayut Township and Bahan Township.[2] The Kamayut Township Court was upgraded to a district-level court.[3] The district connects the northwest and northeast portions of Yangon between Inya Lake to the north and the People's Square and Park to its south.
In 2023, the State Administration Council rolled out a trial of electronic voting in the district as they attempted to organise elections.[4]
