Gwangju Police Operate 24-Hour Election Crime Crackdown System

Opening of the 'Election Offense Investigation Situation Room'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency (Chief Choi Gwanho) announced on the 13th that it will operate a 24-hour election crime crackdown system to ensure that the 4.15 21st National Assembly election is conducted cleanly and fairly.

Accordingly, on the same day, a 'Election Crime Investigation Situation Room' was simultaneously opened together with five police stations and will be operated until April 29.

They plan to strictly respond to various illegal election activities that may occur during the full-scale election competition among candidates.

The Gwangju police will continue to apply a 'zero-tolerance principle' to the five major election crimes that seriously undermine the fairness of elections: ▲money election ▲false election ▲illegal publicity ▲illegal organization mobilization ▲election violence, and will strictly handle them regardless of party or status.

A Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency official said, "We will maintain a strictly neutral stance throughout the investigation process to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings such as 'police election interference suspicions, biased investigation controversies,'" adding, "We will thoroughly comply with legal procedures and conduct a swift investigation."

He continued, "To conduct elections fairly and cleanly, not only the police's efforts but also active reporting and tips from citizens are important," and added, "If you become aware of illegal election activities, please actively report them to 112 or the nearest police station."
