Reporter Jung, how is the atmosphere at the polling place?



<Reporter>



Yes, I am now at the Mokdong Youth Training Center polling place.



Voting started at 6 o'clock, an hour ago, but since it is still early, the citizens of the citizens who visit the polling place continue to visit from time to time.



After taking a body temperature measurement in front of the polling place here, if there is no problem, you can disinfect your hands and put on plastic gloves before entering the polling place. You just have to stamp the candidate you want.



Unlike pre-voting, today's voting requires you to go to a designated polling place and runs until 8 pm.



The location of the polling place can be found on the notice sent home or on the Internet homepage of the Central Election Commission.



The nationwide pre-voting rate, which took place over the past 2nd and 3rd, was 20.54%, the highest among the re-elections ever.



In particular, Seoul's preliminary turnout has risen by nearly 3 percentage points from the local elections three years ago, showing high interest in the Seoul Mayor's election.



According to this trend, there are also observations that the final turnout may exceed the 50% level.



There are variables depending on the gap between candidates, but the election committee predicts that the outline of the winners will be revealed as early as midnight, and the counting will be completed tomorrow after 3 am.
