Yeoju City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 15th that from the 14th to the 20th, a 7-day public vote for the '2024 Yeoju City Excellent Policy Discovery Contest' is being held on the 'Gukmin Saenggakham' section of the People's Petition website.

The '2024 Yeoju City Excellent Policy Discovery Contest' aims to identify outstanding policies based on the implementation results, citizen perception, and creativity of policies promoted by various departments of Yeoju City. The selected cases align with the direction of government innovation. The evaluation consists of a first round of document screening, a second round of presentations, and a public vote using 'Gukmin Saenggakham.'

This year, 47 departments of Yeoju City formed excellent policy teams and prepared activity plans, subsequently submitting policies implemented until August. As a result, nine departments were selected in the first document screening held in September.

The public vote, part of the second evaluation stage, is conducted over seven days from the 14th to the 20th. The final outstanding policies will be determined by combining the presentation scores and public vote scores. Citizens can participate in the vote by selecting 'Please vote for Yeoju City's excellent policies!' on the 'Gukmin Saenggakham' section of the People's Petition website and referring to the attached materials of the nine policy initiatives.

The policies selected through this excellent policy discovery contest will receive a certain reward along with evaluations from related departments and will also be utilized as exemplary cases of government innovation at the local government level.

A representative from Yeoju City's Planning and Budget Office stated, "This public vote is a great opportunity for citizens to directly evaluate policies and reflect their opinions," adding, "We hope that Yeoju City's innovative and creative policies will further develop through citizen participation," and encouraged active voting participation.
