949 Polling Stations Confirmed for Presidential Election in Gyeongnam … 'Find My Polling Station' Service Available

Same as the 21st National Assembly Election

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jucheol In] The Gyeongsangnam-do Election Commission confirmed 949 polling stations for the 20th presidential election on the 1st.

To improve accessibility to polling stations, 943 locations, accounting for 99.4% of all polling stations, were installed on the first floor or in places equipped with elevators.

The remaining polling stations will have temporary voting booths installed and voting guides assigned.

Most polling stations remain the same as those used in the 21st National Assembly election to ensure voters have no difficulty finding their polling place.

However, for 71 locations that were changed due to unavoidable reasons, banners and other notices will be posted at the entrances of the previous polling stations to guide voters to the new locations.

A "Find My Polling Station" service will also be provided. Voters can check their polling station and maps through the Central Election Commission’s website and the portal site’s "Find My Polling Station" direct link service.

The Gyeongnam Election Commission sent absentee ballots, guides, and booklet-type election notices to about 11,000 absentee voters. Booklet-type election notices were also sent to 5,602 soldiers and police officers who applied for delivery through the election commission.

Absentee voters must mark their ballots with a pen or similar writing instrument, place them in the return envelope, and send them so that they arrive at the relevant election commission by 7:30 p.m. on election day, the 9th.

A Gyeongnam Election Commission official said, “We hope voters carefully review the election notices, confirm their polling station location through the voting guide or the internet, and participate in the election without fail.”
