Overseas Voting for Presidential Election Begins
South Koreans living overseas will begin to head to the polls on Tuesday to vote to elect the next South Korean president.
The six-day overseas voting for the May ninth presidential election will begin in a polling station set up at the South Korean diplomatic post in Oakland, New Zealand.
A total of 294-thousand-633 South Korean nationals have registered for the overseas balloting, a record high number. A total of 204 polling booths in 116 countries will be opened for the voting between eight a.m. and five p.m.
Any South Korean adults overseas, including short-time residents, such as students, company employees and travelers, can cast ballots at any of the polling stations with a photo ID such as a passport or resident registration card.
