KUALA LUMPUR: South Korean nationals residing in Malaysia have begun to cast their ballots in the overseas voting process ahead of the country’s June 3 presidential election.
The South Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur told Bernama that approximately 3,300 registered absentee voters in Malaysia are eligible to participate in the overseas voting period, which runs from May 20 to 25.
Voting is open daily from 8am to 5pm at the designated polling centre at the embassy premises here.
According to Yonhap news agency, more than 258,000 South Korean nationals, including those registered as absentee voters, are eligible to vote at 223 polling stations across 118 countries.
The snap election is called following the Constitutional Court’s removal of former President Yoon Suk-yeol from office over his failed martial law declaration in December last year. - Bernama
