The 22nd National Assembly election began at 6 am on the 10th at 14,295 polling stations in 254 constituencies across the country.
Voting to elect 300 members of the National Assembly, including 254 constituency members and 46 proportional representatives, will be held for 12 hours until 6 p.m. on this day.
Vote counting will be conducted at 254 counting centers nationwide starting at 6 p.m. on this day, and a total of 139,000 voting management personnel will participate.
With the semi-linked proportional representation system applied to this general election, the length of the proportional representation ballot paper recorded 51.7 cm, the longest ever. Since the length of ballot sorting machines is beyond what can be sorted, proportional representation voting is entirely done manually.
District election ballots are sorted by a ballot sorter. However, in this election, in order to prevent suspicions of election fraud, a check-sheet procedure was added in which ballot counting clerks manually check each ballot sorted by a sorter.
In the 21st general election, it took an average of 9 hours and 26 minutes to complete the counting of votes after voting closed at 6 p.m., so in this general election, about 2 hours were added to complete the counting, so the outline of the winner will be confirmed around 4 to 6 a.m. on the 11th, the next day. It is expected.
Voters receive two ballots for district and proportional representation voting and mark them.
All you need to bring is a resident registration card, civil servant card, passport, driver’s license, national merit card, disabled person registration card, or photo ID issued by a government office or public institution. Image files taken from photos of ID cards or screen captures cannot be used.
Even if you arrive at the polling place before the closing time, but the closing time has passed while waiting, you can still vote if you receive a numbered ticket.
If accompanied by children, only children of elementary school age or younger may enter the polling booth, and only children of preschool age may enter the polling booth. If you are unable to vote alone due to a physical disability, you may be accompanied by a family member or two people nominated by you.
Taking photos of ballots inside the polling booth is prohibited. To take a voting certification photo, you can use the photo zone installed at the entrance of the polling place or the polling place sign. When posting a voting verification photo on social networking services (SNS), you can post a verification photo showing symbols such as a thumb or the letter V.
The National Election Commission expects that the outline of the district winners will be announced around 2 a.m. on the 11th, when the vote counting rate is expected to be around 70-80%. The National Election Commission predicted that the actual vote counting would end around 4 a.m. on the 11th for the district election and around 6 a.m. on the 11th for the proportional representation election.
The early voting held on the 5th and 6th recorded the highest voter turnout of 31.28% in general elections in history. It was 4.59% points (p) higher than the 21st general election and 5.65% points (p) lower than the 20th presidential election (36.93%), which was the highest ever in an election.
The final voter turnout in the 21st general election was 66.2%. Attention is being paid to whether the 70% barrier can be broken in this general election. The highest voter turnout in history was 95.5% in the general election for the Constitutional Assembly held on May 10, 1948.
Meanwhile, in this general election, 21 political parties submitted votes for local district elections and 38 political parties submitted votes for proportional representation elections.
