South Korea Sees Record Early Voting Turnout Ahead of Parliamentary Polls 🗳️✨

South Korea’s early voting system is lit 🔥! A whopping 31.28% of eligible voters—over 13.8 million people—cast their ballots ahead of next week’s parliamentary elections, shattering the previous 2020 record of 26.69%. 📈

This surge signals sky-high engagement, especially among young voters eager to shape their country’s future. Overseas voting also hit a new peak, with 62.8% of registered voters abroad participating. 🌏✈️

The National Election Commission (NEC) reported the stats after two days of early voting at 3,565 polling stations. Polls open April 10 for the main event, and a recent NEC survey found 78.9% of respondents plan to vote ‘without fail’—a level of commitment that’s basically K-drama finale energy. 🎬

Analysts say this momentum reflects rising civic awareness among Gen Z and millennials, with many calling it a ‘make-or-break’ election for key issues like the economy and youth policies. 💼📱

Will this historic turnout redefine ROK’s political landscape? Stay tuned. 🍿
