The citizen jury meeting, co-hosted by Goyang Special City and the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, will play roles such as checking the status of pledge fulfillment and preparing improvement measures.

The citizen jurors were randomly selected by considering gender, age, and region from citizens aged 18 or older residing in Goyang, conducted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters. After recruiting 175 people who expressed willingness to participate through the first ARS, the final 35 members were formed through a second telephone interview.

The first meeting was held on the 6th, and a total of three meetings will be held on the 13th and 27th. The discussion results of the citizen jurors will be reflected in the pledge fulfillment status after departmental review and will be disclosed on the city website by January next year.

Lee Dong-hwan, Mayor of Goyang Special City, said, “Goyang City, which started vigorously with the hopes and choices of citizens wishing for change in the 8th term, is striving to breathe vitality into the city,” adding, “Next year, we will actively reflect the opinions of the citizen jurors and work hard to present a clearer vision and policies for citizen happiness.”
