Secret voting is possible, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of voting results



Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 17th that it will implement an electronic voting support project for apartment complexes until December this year.


According to relevant laws and Seoul city guidelines, apartment complexes must conduct resident voting for ▲electing and dismissing representatives by building and officers of the residents' representative meeting ▲establishing and amending management regulations ▲adjusting long-term repair plans, but in-person voting has the drawback of being cumbersome.


The district supports electronic voting fees to increase resident voter turnout and enable more transparent apartment management.


By introducing electronic voting, secret ballots become possible, and the accuracy and reliability of voting results can be improved.

The support targets mandatory management and non-mandatory management apartment complexes with 30 or more households within the district, and the complex must have open passageways and playgrounds.


If the electronic voting participation rate is 50% or more of the total households, up to 500,000 KRW per session will be supported twice, covering up to 60% of the electronic voting costs.


Apartment complex officials who wish to participate can download the application form from the Seodaemun-gu website (Information by Category → Urban Management → Apartment Complex) after conducting electronic voting, fill it out, and submit it along with supporting documents (such as payment receipts) by visiting or mailing it to the Housing Division on the 4th floor of the district office.



Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “We ask for the interest and participation of many people in activating electronic voting within apartment complexes to enable more democratic decision-making and active resident participation.”
