[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The election to select the next members to lead the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be held on the 10th for the first time under the current election system.


The Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Heo Yong-do) announced that the 24th member election will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on that day.


This election is the first in 27 years since some industry-specific members were directly elected in the 15th member election in 1994, and it is effectively the first election held since the current member system was changed in 2002. In the election, 100 general members and 20 special members will be elected.


Among all member companies, the number of member companies eligible to vote and participate in this election amounts to 1,152 general members and 60 special members.


In principle, the representative of the member company with voting rights must bring their ID card and vote in person, but in unavoidable circumstances, an executive or employee of the company may vote by proxy if they bring a power of attorney, corporate (or personal) seal certificate, certificate of employment, and ID card.


The number of voting rights for each member company is determined according to the scale of membership fee payment, and voting ballots will be issued on-site after verifying the identity of the voter and proxy according to the number of voting rights of each company.



The Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated, "Since the election is being held under the severe situation of COVID-19, we are thoroughly implementing quarantine measures more than ever, and to prevent the concentration of voters at specific times, we have divided voters into three groups based on the registration number on the voter list and completed prior guidance so that they can vote at separate times."
