On April 7, local time, the 2021 re-election and by-election voting for South Korean local councillors and local government leaders started.
This time, 17 local councillors and 4 local government leaders will be elected, including the mayor of Seoul and the mayor of Busan.
The reporter saw in a polling place in Seoul on the 7th that in order to prevent infection, the staff sprayed hands to disinfect everyone, and they also needed to wear disposable gloves before voting; the waiting distance between each person was more than 1 meter.
The formal voting will end at 20 o'clock that night, and voters who are isolated from home will go out to vote after 20 o'clock.
According to the official introduction, in the previous absentee voting, the absentee turnout rate was as high as 20.54%, setting a record for the highest turnout rate in previous re-elections.
