Gwangju City Election Commission, Voting from 6 PM to 7:30 PM for Confirmed Cases and Others

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan City Election Commission announced on the 7th that on the 9th, the day of the 20th presidential election, COVID-19 confirmed patients and quarantined individuals can vote from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in the same manner as general voters.

The Central Election Commission held a full committee meeting on the same day and announced voting management measures to guarantee the voting rights of COVID-19 confirmed patients and quarantined individuals on election day.

Confirmed patients and others can vote at the polling station under the jurisdiction of their registered address on the 9th, election day, after receiving temporary permission to go out from the quarantine authorities.

After 6:00 PM, once all general voters have finished voting and left, they will vote at the polling station in the same manner as general voters.

Unlike the previous method of handing the ballot to the election staff at a temporary marking booth, they will directly insert the ballot they marked into the ballot box.

If general voters have not finished voting by 6:00 PM, they will wait in a separate area outside the polling station, separated from the flow of general voters, and vote after all general voters have left.

A Gwangju Election Commission official stated, “We will prepare meticulously to prevent the recurrence of various issues raised during early voting and do our best to ensure that voting on election day proceeds fairly and safely.”
