▲ Garbage bag full of disposable plastic gloves
"What about those many plastic gloves that are thrown away?"
Some voters who exercised a valuable vote at Doan Elementary School, the 4th polling place in Singerwon-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon City, today (15th), the election day of the 21st National Assembly, kicked their tongues with disposable plastic gloves that were used and discarded once when voting.
One citizen said, "It is said to be due to the prevention of coronavirus infection-19 (corona19), but all Koreans will use plastic gloves, but the amount will also be enormous."
Today, there are 1,187 places in Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam where citizens are trying to exercise their precious sovereignty.
From early in the morning, voters wearing masks and visiting polling stations finished voting with the guidance of elections officers located everywhere.
Today at 8:30 am, the county elementary school, where the 9th voting place in Jinjam-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, was established, lined up outside the gates, with more than 50 meters of voters waiting for the order to vote.
Doan Elementary School, the fourth polling place in Singerwon-dong, had a lot of citizens standing in line in the early morning.
The voters waited one meter from the person in front and then voted in order.
"I came out in the morning, but I didn't know the heat of voting was so hot," said Kim Mo (33). "I am looking forward to seeing a high voter turnout."
The 18-year-old voter, who was the first to vote at this time as the election age was lowered, was also noticeable.
As of 10:00 am, the turnout (excluding pre-voting) was 11.6% in Daejeon, 10.3% in Sejong, and 11.7% in Chungnam.
In the past 10-11 days prior to voting, 26.9% of Daejeon, 32.4% of Sejong, and 25.3% of Chungnam Province voted.
