Muchos surcoreanos acudieron a las urnas el viernes para participar en los dos días de votación anticipada previos a las elecciones locales y elecciones parlamentarias parciales del 3 de junio, consideradas como un referéndum sobre el primer año de mandato del presidente Lee Jae Myung.

La votación se llevó a cabo en 3.571 centros electorales en todo el país desde las 6 a.m. hasta las 6 p.m. La participación alcanzó el 11,6 por ciento a las 6 p.m., superando el 10,18 por ciento registrado en el mismo momento en 2022.

El presidente Lee Jae Myung y la primera dama Kim Hea Kyung depositaron sus votos en el centro comunitario del barrio de Samcheong, cerca de Cheong Wa Dae. El primer ministro Kim Min-seok votó en el oeste de Seúl.

Las elecciones servirán para cubrir 16 puestos de alcaldes y gobernadores, 227 cargos de jefes de gobiernos locales, cerca de 4.000 escaños en concejos locales y 14 escaños en la Asamblea Nacional. La contienda por la alcaldía de Seúl y una elección parcial en Busan están atrayendo una atención especial.

Qué dice la gente

Las reacciones iniciales en X destacaron al presidente Lee Jae-myung y a la primera dama ejerciendo el voto anticipado, la cifra récord del 11,6% de participación en el primer día y el escepticismo, que incluyó afirmaciones sobre máquinas electorales adicionales y observadores extranjeros promoviendo teorías de fraude.
