Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is launching the "Voting Culture Expansion Project" to encourage participation in the 21st presidential election.


On the 21st, Suwon City announced that at the "2025 Suwon City Youth Club Festival," which will be held at the Suwon Youth Culture Center Plaza on the 24th, youths and citizens will create short-form videos encouraging voting participation. These videos will be uploaded to Suwon City's Facebook and Instagram accounts.


Suwon City will also select 14 high schools and hang banners with messages supporting students' first-ever voting experience. In addition, the city will promote advance polling locations to local businesses.


Furthermore, at more than 10 companies within the Suwon Industrial Complex and Knowledge Industry Center, the city will display banners promoting "guaranteed voting time for workers." Suwon City will also post messages encouraging first-time voting by third-year high school students (aged 18 or older) who are eligible to vote for the first time in this election.

In addition, banners encouraging voting participation will be installed on Hwaseong Eocha, a popular tourist vehicle in Suwon, and traditional market merchant associations will hang banners inside markets to encourage voting participation.


A campaign to encourage voting participation among public officials will also be conducted. A "voting song" will be broadcast at 6 p.m. at city hall instead of the usual "end-of-workday song." On Friday evenings, a text message encouraging voting will be sent to all public officials in conjunction with a regular integrity message.



A Suwon City official stated, "We will carry out a voting participation campaign until election day to increase voter turnout, which is both a natural right and responsibility of the people," and added, "We hope every eligible voter will participate in the election and exercise their precious vote."
