Preliminary results are expected later on Monday.
But NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi has hinted at victory saying: "I think you all have the idea of the results."
The military-backed Union Solidarity Development Party (USDP) has been in power since 2011.
The
acting chairman of the USDP has told BBC Burmese that he has lost his
own seat in the constituency of Hinthada to the NLD - seen as a key
indicator of election results.
"We have to find out the reason why
we lost," U Htay Oo said. "However, we do accept the results without
any reservations. We still don't know the final results for sure."
If the NLD wins two-thirds of the contested parliamentary seats, it would end decades of military control.
Ms
Suu Kyi was speaking to reporters at the NLD's headquarters in Yangon
earlier on Monday. She also said it was "still a bit early to
congratulate our candidates who will be the winners".
