Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
North Koreans vote
in rubber-stamp elections.
Election in a solely
dictated country? That’s what took place in North Korea on 9th March.
Surprisingly, there are 687 electoral districts across the country and the
unshakable leader Kim Jong-un is also registered as a candidate in one of the
districts.
What happened if
he fails to be elected? No need to worry. It is said that only one candidate runs
for the seat, so the electors need to choose either “yes” or “no”, and the
latter choice seems most unlikely to be seen even at nearly 100% turnout.
Enjoy reading and
learning about a democratic political process in one of the most dictated states
in the world.
