According to the People Power Party, the electorate with voting rights (839,569 people) can participate once in either mobile voting on the 4th and 5th or automated response system (ARS) voting on the 6th and 7th.


The mobile voting, conducted over two days starting today, is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. by using a mobile phone registered under the voter's name. Upon receiving the voting text message, voters enter the security code and personal identification number (the first digits of their resident registration number), then select their preferred candidate to cast their vote. Those who do not participate via text voting can choose their desired candidate by following the instructions through the ARS method.


The electorate can vote for one candidate for party leader, two candidates for supreme council members, and one candidate for youth supreme council member.



The voting results will be announced at the party convention held on the 8th at KINTEX in Goyang City. If no party leader candidate receives a majority, a runoff vote will be held between the top two candidates. In this case, a one-on-one debate will take place on the 9th, followed by mobile voting on the 10th, ARS voting on the 11th, and the party leader will be finalized on the 12th.
