"Don't Miss Your First Voting Right"... Jeonnam Office of Education Encourages First-Time Voters

Request for School Support During Early Voting Period
Student Council Also Joins In

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on May 29 that it will actively encourage 6,820 first-time voters within its jurisdiction to participate in the upcoming 21st presidential election.

On this day, the Office of Education sent an official notice to all schools, asking them to provide active support so that new voters can exercise their voting rights. This support extends not only to the main voting day on June 3, but also to the early voting period, during which regular school curricula will continue. The aim is to ensure that students can participate in voting during both periods.

In particular, for students whose primary residence is in another city or province and who will be staying in dormitories ahead of the mock College Scholastic Ability Test on June 4, the Office requested schools to provide support and cooperation to ensure these students can participate in early voting. Materials explaining the voting methods and procedures were also distributed to help students navigate the voting process without difficulty.

Additionally, the 7th Jeonnam Student Council has also joined efforts to encourage first-time voters to participate. The Student Council produced short-form videos and delivered a guidance message, written by Student Council President Park Geonwoo (a third-year student at Hwasun High School), to the representatives of student councils at each school to further motivate student voters to take part.

Superintendent Kim Daejung stated, "We will actively support our students so that they can cast their valuable votes for the future they will live in," and added, "We will also further strengthen education on suffrage and democratic citizenship for future voters and school staff."

Meanwhile, the total number of first-time voters aged 18 or older in the Jeonnam region for this presidential election has been tallied at 6,820.
