The National Election Commission announced on the 18th that election posters of candidates for the 20th presidential election will be posted on approximately 84,880 locations nationwide, including buildings and exterior walls in areas with heavy voter traffic, by the 20th. The posters include the candidate's photo, name, number, education, career, political views, and other promotional information, allowing voters to easily access candidate information on the streets.

If there is any false information regarding career or education on the election posters, objections can be raised to the local election commission for local elections, or to the National Election Commission for the presidential election. If proven false, the fact will be publicly announced. Damaging or removing election posters without justifiable reason, such as tearing or scribbling on them, may result in 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 will be sent to each household by the 23rd.
