Jeonnam Police Strictly Respond to Illegal Activities in the '3rd Nationwide Simultaneous Cooperative Head Election'

Jeonnam's 22 Police Stations Establish 24-Hour Surveillance System

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police announced on the 22nd that they will operate an ‘Election Crime Investigation Situation Room’ at the Jeonnam Police Agency and 21 police stations from the 23rd to the 8th of next month in preparation for the ‘3rd Nationwide Simultaneous Cooperative Association Head Election’ to be held on March 8.

As the cooperative association head election is just two weeks away, the Election Crime Investigation Situation Room will establish a 24-hour response system to strengthen crime intelligence collection and respond swiftly and strictly to various illegal activities related to the election.

In particular, by cooperating organically with related organizations such as the Election Commission and the Prosecutor’s Office, they plan to focus on cracking down on the ‘three major election crimes’: ▲bribery, ▲spreading false information, and ▲illegal election interference, to ensure a clean and fair election.

Jeonnam Police have investigated a total of 26 cases involving 43 people so far for violations of the Entrusted Election Act, and among them, 2 people have been sent to the prosecution.

A Jeonnam Police Agency official said, “For a fair election, not only the efforts of the police but also the active reporting and tips from the residents are important,” and urged, “If you become aware of any illegal activities related to the election, please actively report them to 112 or the nearest police station.”
