[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The National Election Commission announced on the 2nd that election posters of candidates for the 21st National Assembly election will be posted at approximately 86,370 locations nationwide, including buildings and exterior walls in areas with heavy voter traffic.

The posters will display the candidate's photo, name, number, education, career, political views, and other necessary promotional information. If there is any false information regarding career or education in the election posters, anyone can file an objection with the relevant election commission, and if it is proven false, the fact will be publicly announced.

If election posters are torn, scribbled on, or removed without just cause, the offender may face imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to 4 million won. Booklet-type election brochures containing candidates' assets, military service, tax payment, and criminal records are scheduled to be sent to each household by the 5th.
