It is estimated that the next April by-election will cost 83.8 billion won in elections to replace the late Mayor Park Won-soon and former Mayor of Busan.
According to the estimates of the Central Election Commission on the 11th, 57 billion won will be spent on the by-election of the mayor of Seoul and 26.713 billion won respectively for the by-election of the mayor of Busan.
The NEC estimates this based on the number of voters using recent demographic statistics (8.5 million in Seoul and 295 million in Busan).
This is an estimate of the cost that includes the cost of voting and counting, the cost of the candidates' campaign, and the cost of promoting voters.
Local election expenses are borne by local governments in Seoul and Busan.
Former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon left a note and made an extreme choice after being sued by the police last month for suspicion of sexual harassment. Former Busan Mayor Oh Geo-don dropped his post as mayor and is living in the city after suspicion of sexual harassment was raised shortly after the general election in April.
