The voting hours for the Geumgo that elect their chairmen by direct vote are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and for the Geumgo that elect their chairmen through the delegates' meeting, voting is from the time agreed upon by the local city/county election commission and the Geumgo until 5 p.m.


Voters can cast their vote by bringing a resident registration card, passport, driver's license, or any other photo ID issued by a public institution to the polling station.


The location of the polling stations can be confirmed through the voting guide sent by the election commission to each voter or by checking the polling station addresses and maps on the Central Election Commission's website.


When voting, voters must use the marking tools provided in the voting booth to mark the ballot accurately.


If it is unclear which candidate was marked or if marks are made in the boxes of two or more candidates, the ballot will be invalidated.


After the polls close, the ballot boxes will be moved to the counting center, where vote counting will be conducted in the presence of vote counting observers appointed by each candidate.


The election results can be checked on the Central Election Commission's website or the simultaneous chairman election statistics system website.



A Gyeongnam Election Commission official stated, “We hope voters carefully review the candidates' policies and pledges through election brochures and participate fully in the voting.”
