North Korea: Citizens Cast Votes in Local Elections
Dictatorship's Mandate Forces Participation
Propaganda and Limited Options Shape Electoral Process
Citizens in North Korea were required to participate in local elections held on Sunday under the country's authoritarian regime. Residents had no choice but to vote, with propaganda and limited options shaping the electoral process.
The elections, held every four years, saw North Koreans elect provincial governors, mayors, and deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly, the country's parliament. However, these elections are widely seen as a formality, with candidates pre-approved by the ruling Workers' Party and the outcome predetermined.
