This is a book about the Public Official Election Act that candidates running for election must know. Authors with election field experience easily organize and introduce key parts that can help with election campaigns based on their know-how. It highlights various unexpected risk factors to prevent situations where candidates are expelled from politics due to violations of the Public Official Election Act despite winning.

The term ‘election period’ means ① in the case of a presidential election, the 23-day period from the day after the candidate registration deadline to the election day, and ② in the case of National Assembly elections and elections for local government council members and heads, the 14-day period from the 6th day after the candidate registration deadline to the election day (Article 33).

The term ‘campaign period’ refers to the period during which election campaigning is allowed, which is the 13-day period from the start of the election period to the day before the election day (Article 59). Both the election period and the campaign period are fixed periods, differing only in that the election day is included in the election period but not in the campaign period. In other words, election campaigning is not allowed on election day itself. - From ‘Key Concepts in the Public Official Election Act’
