The time is now 6:57 am, so the early voting started about an hour ago.

Until tomorrow (the 5th), as long as you have your ID, you can vote at any polling place in the country.

Our coverage is out at the site of the advance polling place.



Reporter Sohn Ki-joon, did the voting start without a hitch?



<Reporter>



I am in the early voting booth at Seoul Station.



Voting started at 6 am, an hour ago, and is proceeding without any problems.



The number of citizens who want to cast a precious vote in time for work is increasing.



Voters can vote anywhere, regardless of their address, at 3,552 polling stations installed across the country, including here at Seoul Station.



It is held from 6 am to 6 pm for two days today and tomorrow.



In order to vote, you must have a photo ID, such as a resident registration card, passport, or driver's license.



Temperature measurement, hand disinfection, and wearing a mask are basic.



However, only those who wish to wear plastic gloves can wear them.



You can check the location of the advance polling place on the website of the National Election Commission or the portal site.

Reporter Sohn, what can a person diagnosed with Corona or quarantined do?

You say you can vote?



<Reporter>



Corona 19 confirmed or quarantined persons can also vote.



If you visit the advance polling place tomorrow from 5pm to 6pm, you can vote at a separate temporary voting booth.



You must bring along with your identification card a message related to advance voting from the quarantine authorities or a message to notify you of positive PCR test.



A confirmed person in a community treatment center can also vote in advance at 10 special polling stations nationwide according to the center guidelines.



The early voting turnout on the first day of the last 19th presidential election was 11.7%, but the election commission predicted that the turnout could increase as both the ruling and opposition parties encourage early voting this time.
