If quarantine obligations for confirmed patients are maintained
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Min-ji Kang = A ballot box is placed at the counting booth for the 20th presidential election at Yeongdeungpo Multipurpose Badminton Gymnasium in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th. 2022.3.9 [email protected]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Soo-yeon = If quarantine obligations for confirmed COVID-19 patients are maintained, the confirmed person will vote from 6:30 pm in the June 1 local elections.
On the 29th, the National Election Commission discussed ‘Measures for Management of the 8th Simultaneous Local Election’ in the presence of the secretary generals of the city and provincial elections committees.
If the quarantine obligation for confirmed patients is maintained as it is now, confirmed persons who wish to participate in advance voting can cast one vote from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on May 28 (the second day of advance voting).
On Election Day, you can vote from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
As both the early voting and the main voting are conducted after the general voter leaves, there is no temporary voting booth to separate the movement.
During the previous election in advance, there was also a controversy about ‘colander voting’, as confirmed cases had to vote at a temporary voting booth and then hand over the paper to the election officials.
If the quarantine obligation is lifted, the National Election Commission decided to discuss additionally how to vote for quarantined people. In this case, it is highly likely that the confirmed person will vote together with general voters without any time division on the early voting or the main voting day.
The National Election Commission also decided to strictly crack down on crimes that undermine the fairness of elections, believing that election-related crimes are occurring again ahead of the local elections.
In particular, he emphasized that strict action will be taken if public officials are found to be involved in elections.
In addition, he said that he would make an effort to improve treatment in order to secure enough manpower for election management.
