The government is deeply concerned about the question of voters who are self-contained in this general election. The government said it would come to a conclusion soon because it is concerned about the spread of infection and threatening the right to life of other people.

If the Corona 19 self-contained person filed for a ballot before 28th of the last month, an absentee vote is possible.

After that, if you go into self-quarantine, there is no proper way to vote.

For this reason, the NEC even considered installing a temporary ballot in the form of voting while driving by car during the preliminary voting that began on the 10th.

This is because other government departments expressed negative opinions, such as the risk of virus transmission in the process of traveling in a car and the difficulty in managing traffic lines before and after voting.

The only possibility is to temporarily remove self-containment and vote on the 15th.

[Jong-Hyun Park / Head of Public Relations Management Team, Pan-government Countermeasures Support Headquarters: I understand that you are in the final stages of consultation (by the NEC and the ministry). I think there will be an announcement soon.]

Temporary release will control the voting time on Election Day and use the temporary polling place in the polling place to vote for self-isolators, but the possibility of spreading the infection cannot be excluded.

Since both the suffrage and the right to life are fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution, the government has not been able to make decisions easily and has been struggling and discussing.

Determinants who are not self-contained will be pre-voting on the 10th and 11th from the Special Advance Polling Place at the Life Therapy Center.
