The pre-voting rate for this general election is the highest compared to the same time frame in the national elections in the past.

If we keep the trend right now until the voting deadline, the pre-voting rate is expected to surpass 26.06% of our previous record of 2017.

An official of the NEC said, "The voters seemed to have chosen a less-popular pre-voting due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and the convenience of the pre-voting seems to have played a big role." "We expect to record a high pre-voting rate."

Pre-voting can be done at 3,508 polling stations nationwide if you bring your ID card until 6:00 PM today without a separate absence report.

You can check the location of the pre-voting place on the NEC website (www.nec.go.kr) or the representative phone (☎1390).
