A proposed bill by ruling and minor party lawmakers aims to allow overseas Koreans to vote electronically in presidential and parliamentary elections, according to parliamentary records. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Kim Young-ho of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), seeks to improve voting accessibility for Koreans living abroad.
The bill, co-sponsored by 11 other DPK lawmakers and Rep. Kim Joon-hyung of the Rebuilding Korea Party, proposes an electronic voting system operated by the National Election Commission (NEC). This system would enable voters to cast their ballots without the need to visit designated polling stations. The bill also addresses concerns over voter privacy and security, including measures to prevent unauthorized access to voting records.
