[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] On the morning of the 11th, Kim Young-jong, Mayor of Jongno-gu, completed early voting at the early voting station inside the Ihwa-dong Community Center with his spouse.

Mayor Kim had planned to vote at the early voting station installed in the Jongno-gu Office building on the first day of early voting, the 10th, but due to a large crowd gathering from the morning, he voted on this day instead.

In fact, the voter turnout in Jongno-gu on the previous day recorded 15.82%, the highest rate in all of Seoul.

To maintain social distancing among voters waiting in line, Mayor Kim actively supported the closure of the district office plaza parking lot for two days on the 10th and 11th to ensure safe voting.

He also encouraged early voting staff and specially requested them to pay close attention so that visitors coming to vote would not feel any inconvenience.

Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “The hygiene rules such as temperature checks, hand sanitizing, and wearing disposable gloves to prevent COVID-19 infection may feel somewhat cumbersome. However, I hope everyone participates in voting, which is our precious right, and exercises their valuable vote.”
