The UEC responded saying it had no comment on the UDSP's accusations as they were unaware of the underlying evidence.
Earlier, USDP chairman Than Htay said there had been many "contentious events" during the voting process and that "more facts" were emerging.
An unofficial tabulation of the vote from Myanmar's general election showed Tuesday that the ruling National League for Democracy party of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi won an absolute majority of seats in Parliament, giving it a second five-year term in power.
The official results of Sunday's election posted online by the state Union Election Commission lagged far behind, but also showed the advantage of going to the NLD.
They confirmed that Suu Kyi won the seat she contested. The NLD claimed victory on Monday.
