The voter turnout was 64.6%, with 51 out of 79 total committee members participating. Jo Yoon-joo, a 6th grader at Shinmirim Elementary School, won the 9th presidency with 37% of the votes, ahead of six other candidates.

Jeong Se-rin, a 6th grader at Shinmirim Elementary School, was elected as the highest citizen with 55% of the votes.

On the day of the event, appointment letters were awarded to the chairpersons of six committees: the Education Committee, Traffic Safety Committee, Culture and Sports Committee, Food Hygiene Committee, Human Rights and Welfare Committee, and Environment Committee.

District Mayor Moon Heon-il said, “I believe that exercising the precious right to vote and participating in the election was a meaningful experience,” and added, “I hope children will continue to engage in enjoyable and beneficial activities for a happy nation.”
