SEOUL, June 3 (Xinhua) — Presidential elections began early Tuesday across the Republic of Korea.
Voting is scheduled to last from 06:00 to 20:00 local time at 14,295 polling stations.
The presidential race was sparked by the ouster of conservative former President Yoon Seok-yeol over his failed attempt to impose martial law.
Recent polls have shown that Lee Jae-myung of the Toburo Democratic Party still enjoys the support of about 50 percent of voters, significantly ahead of Kim Moon-soo of the Civil Power Party, who has about 30 percent support.
Lee Jae-myung lost the 2022 presidential election to Yun Seok-yul, the candidate of the Civil Power Party, by a nationally narrow margin of 0.73 percentage points.
Early voting took place between May 29 and 30. Of the more than 44 million eligible voters, 34.74 percent cast early ballots. –0–
