“Local elections are the starting point for grassroots democracy,” said Roh Tae-ak, chairman of the National Election Commission.
Chairman Roh made this statement today (18th), two weeks before the June 1 local elections, in 'A Word to the People for a Beautiful Election Realization'.
Chairman Roh said, "There are many candidates running for office and there are many representatives to choose, so more than any other election, voters need special attention."
He also emphasized that candidates running for the election "should no longer try to obtain votes with money, valuables, false information, delay, blood, or academic ties."
Chairman Roh also said, "I will do my best to ensure that voters can vote with confidence under any circumstances, regardless of whether or not the quarantine obligations for confirmed COVID-19 patients are maintained or lifted." We will respond promptly and strictly.”
