SEOUL, May 19 (Korea Bizwire) — Overseas voting for the June 3 presidential election is set to kick off Tuesday for a six-day run, the election watchdog said Monday.
A total of 258,254 overseas South Korean nationals, including those registered as absentee voters, will be eligible to vote at 223 polling stations across 118 countries from Tuesday to next Wednesday, according to the National Election Commission (NEC).
Polling stations were set up in South Korean overseas missions in Cuba, Luxembourg, Lithuania and Estonia for the first time, where diplomatic missions were recently established.
Eligible voters unable to participate in the overseas voting or those wishing to cast their ballots in South Korea can do so on voting day if they report to regional election commissions between May 26-June 3, the NEC said.
