The power of the people argued that the Central Election Commission issued a voter interpretation that the phrase'naeronambul' cannot be used as a voting encouraging phrase because it can infer a specific political party.
The power of the people recently asked the NEC if it is possible to use the phrase'voting beats hypocrisy, voting beats incompetence, voting beats the southern bull'. , It is not possible to use it because it is an expression that appears to be objectionable,” he said.
In response, Se-hoon Oh, spokesman for the Mayor of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, criticized the NEC, saying, "We decided to block the public's mouth at all."
He added, "I can't help but ask if I have a sense of fairness and balance as well as basic common sense," he argued that the NEC restricts freedom of expression.
The NEC official said, "Plans and pickets containing content that affect the election are not purely solicited to participate in the election, but are considered to violate the election law." Pro-Japanese liquidation, let's judge by voting', etc. were not allowed as a banner for voting invitations,” he explained.
