According to the reports, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi was detained under house arrest as communications were cut to the capital.
Phone and internet access to Naypyidaw was also lost and Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party could not be reached.
The U.S., Australia and others have shown concerned by the reports and urged Myanmar's military to respect the rule of law.
However, the military, known as the Tatmadaw, charged that there was massive voting fraud in the election, though it has failed to provide proof. The state Union Election Commission had last week rejected its allegations.
