Citizens Head to Polling Stations from Early Morning, Hoping for Social Stability and Unity

On the 3rd, the day of the main voting for the June 3 local elections, polling stations across Seoul saw a steady stream of voters from early morning. Citizens cast their precious ballots, saying they hoped this election would lead to social stability and unity. Citizens who finished voting said they expect this election, the first to be held since the change of administration, to reduce division and ensure stable state affairs and local governance. Some hoped for improvements in real estate and housing issues, while others wished for a loosening of politics centered on the two major parties and a dispersal of power. Citizens who came to polling stations with their families were also noticeable. Voters who came with young children or grandchildren said they voted with the next generation in mind, and some recorded their participation with voting proof photos.
