This inspection was carried out together with seven local disability organizations, including the Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, to enhance voting convenience for voters with disabilities.


The inspection focused on polling stations that had been evaluated as lacking convenience facilities and those whose facilities had changed since the two major elections in 2022. The commission directly checked the routes to the polling places and thoroughly inspected points expected to cause inconvenience according to different types of disabilities.



A Gwangju Election Commission official stated, “The issues discussed during the inspection will be maintained and supplemented before the election, and we will make every effort to ensure that all voters can vote comfortably regardless of disability.”
