On Election Day, where the turnout is sensitive to predictions of success or failure, the National Election Commission showed a violation of the Election Commission Act by broadcasting “Vote” by driving a vehicle in the afternoon.
On the 8th before the election day, President Moon Jae-in said, "Please show the collective intelligence of our people through active participation in tomorrow's main vote." This is an increase of more than 10 percentage points from the last general election and presidential election, which is very desirable,” he said at the Blue House State Council meeting.
Kang Byung-won, senior spokesperson for Lee Jae-myung's election campaign, told Yonhap News on the 9th of Election Day, "The vote is very hot and it is likely to break 80%.
SBS said in the afternoon of the same day, "In addition, Lee Jae-myung, the candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, is in an atmosphere of dissatisfaction with the high early voter turnout. Considering the fact that the participation rate of the feminist voters in the previous elections was relatively high, it can be interpreted as a signal that the supporters have gathered together. Gyeongsangbuk-do, which has the upper hand, is a prime example with only 41.02%.”
In Article 1 (Purpose), the Election Commission Act is limited to ‘fair management’ as ‘the organization and duties of the Election Commission, which is responsible for the fair management of elections and referendums and the affairs of political parties’.
On the day of the election, there were 327,549 new cases of coronavirus and 206 deaths.
The task of the committee (Article 3) is to stipulate that 'The Election Commission shall ensure fairness in the management of elections and referendums and the handling of political party affairs by faithfully complying with laws and regulations' is a violation of this.
Broadcasting the ‘Street Vote Reminder’, which is a car rental for the Election Day on Election Day, outside the ‘office on referendums’ specified in the committee’s duties clause, seems to be a political act that induces candidates with high turnout to be favored.
Former People's Power General Election Commissioner Kim Jong-in said on the 9th, "Depending on the turnout, you can get a rough idea without looking at the exit poll. Depending on what happens, you will be able to judge the situation differently,” he explained, explaining the relationship between turnout and winning.
The Election Commission Act stipulates that only 'expenses necessary for the preparation, execution, result data, guidance, publicity, and enforcement of the national referendum are supported' in the 'expenses' clause. It was out of the scope of 'promotion of genealogy' because it was 'forced'.
Article 14 of the Election Commission Act stipulates 'When a member or employee of the Election Commission discovers an act in violation of the Election Act while performing his/her duties, he/she shall suspend, warn, or issue a correction order. Alternatively, if the corrective order is not complied with, an investigation may be requested or a complaint may be made to the competent investigation agency.
The reason for dismissal of an election commissioner was stipulated in Paragraph 1 as “when he joined a political party or was involved in politics.”
President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol announced in the auditorium of the National Assembly Library on the 10th, "Corruption that threatens democracy will be strictly on the side of the people, regardless of whether it is on my side or on my side."
