Daejeon Seo-gu Election Commission Reports Resident Autonomy Committee Member for Preliminary Candidate Election Campaigning

Accused of Election and Primary Campaigning for a Prospective Candidate

The Seo-gu Election Commission of Daejeon City announced on the 21st that it has filed a complaint with the Western Police Station against resident autonomy committee member A for allegedly campaigning and conducting primary election activities for preliminary candidate B in relation to the 22nd National Assembly election.

Member A, who serves on the Dong resident autonomy committee in Seo-gu, Daejeon, is accused of distributing numerous election campaign business cards of candidate B to voters at events and posting content supporting and promoting B on social media regarding the party primary election.

The Public Official Election Act prohibits resident autonomy committee members and Tong/Ri/Ban chiefs from engaging in election or primary campaign activities, and violators may face imprisonment of up to three years or a fine of up to 6 million won.

An official from the Seo-gu Election Commission stated, "Tong/Ri/Ban chiefs and resident autonomy committee members are not allowed to campaign, so special caution is required to prevent illegal activities," adding, "We will respond strictly to any violations of the law."
