Among 2.1 Million Electorate, 640,000 Votes Decided Today
Lee Jae-myung 'Secures Majority' vs Lee Nak-yeon 'Comeback Reversal'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the afternoon of the 12th, the Democratic Party of Korea will reveal the results of the first round of the primary electorate vote during the '1st Super Week' to select the presidential candidate. In fact, the overall outline of the primary election results will be determined based on the counting results on this day.

The Democratic Party will hold a joint speech event for candidates Chu Mi-ae, Lee Jae-myung, Chung Sye-kyun, Lee Nak-yeon, Park Yong-jin, and Kim Du-kwan (in order of ballot number) at 3:30 PM at Oak Valley Resort in Wonju, Gangwon Province. Following this, the vote counting will proceed, and from 6 PM, the Gangwon primary results and the first round primary electorate vote results will be announced sequentially.

The first round primary electorate consists of approximately 640,000 people, which is about one-third of the total electorate nearing 2 million. Attention is focused on whether Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, who has achieved 'majority landslide victories' in all three previous regional primary elections, will continue his winning streak with a majority. With the online voting rate of the first round primary electorate surpassing 70%, it is also crucial whether the final turnout, including ARS voting continuing until this day, will exceed the record set in the last presidential election (76.6%).
