Naver Opens 'General Election Special Page'... Related News and Polls at a Glance

AI-Based 'Main News' and 'Media PICK' Sections Established

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Naver announced on the 23rd that it has launched a '21st National Assembly Election Special Page' where voters can quickly and accurately check information related to the April 15 general election.

On this page, users can view news and public opinion poll results related to the general election at a glance during the election period. In addition, various election-related information provided by the National Election Commission, as well as real-time voter turnout on election day, exit polls, and vote counting status will be available.

In particular, election-related news content includes a newly established 'Major News' section based on artificial intelligence (AI) and a 'Media PICK' corner. The Media PICK corner consists only of articles directly selected (PICK) by media outlets as the most important regarding the general election.

The major news corner also features newly added 'AI Headline News' and 'Keyword News,' where similar articles are grouped and delivered based on the user's usual consumption patterns. In the Keyword News section, available only to logged-in users, election-related keywords are automatically recommended individually based on the titles and content of articles they have read.

Additionally, users can efficiently grasp the status of election-related coverage through 'Regional News' based on user-set locations and 'Photo News,' which features photo articles related to events.

From the 28th, when candidate registration ends, users will be able to check candidate-related information and voting and counting data for their set regions. A separate candidate page will also be established, allowing users to compare candidates' pledges and check their recent updates in real time. On election day, vote counting status from KBS, partnered with the National Election Commission, will be updated in real time, and regional voter turnout can be quickly checked.

Meanwhile, Naver announced on its official blog last month that it will temporarily suspend the 'Rising Search Terms' service during the election period starting April 2. In addition, from the 28th, the candidate name auto-completion and candidate name search suggestion functions will also be suspended.
