Korean General Election Today's Vote Voter's interest in new corona measures 5:13 on April 15
Every four years, the South Korean general election takes place on the 15th. Voters' focus is on new coronavirus measures rather than economic and security issues, and whether the ruling party of the Moon Jaein administration will maintain the first party or the conservative system It is attracting attention whether the largest opposition will rewind.
The biennial general election, which elects South Korean parliamentarians, is contested for 300 seats, including proportional representation with the single-member parliamentary constituencies.
Voting begins at 6am on the 15th at more than 14,000 polling stations all at once, and the votes will be counted on the same day.
The full-fledged election campaign was held for 13 days until the 14th, but to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, each camp faced an extraordinary exercise, such as avoiding a handshake with voters in masks.
This election is positioned as the "intermediate evaluation" of the Moon Jaein administration, which has entered the second half of the term of five years, but voters are more interested in virus infection prevention measures and impacts than conventional problems such as economic and security issues. We are concentrating on the economic promotion measures that we received.
In South Korea, the number of new infections confirmed on the 1st exceeded 900 at the end of February, but the rate of increase has slowed down to less than 30 on the 14th, and due to thorough PCR tests, etc. The reputation for containing infections is growing.
In the general election held in such a situation, it is attracting attention whether the innovative ruling party “Both Democratic Party” maintains the first party or the conservative largest opposition party “Future Integration Party” rewinds.
