North Korea's Election: A Farce or a Sign of Change?
Sub-Title: Elections in North Korea are held regularly, but are they truly democratic?
Elections in North Korea are held every four-to-five years for the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), the country's national legislature, and every four years for Local People's Assemblies. Parliamentary elections were expected to be held in North Korea in March or April 2024, but it is considered likely they were delayed or canceled due to a lack of communication from the government.
There is only one choice on a North Korean ballot paper. Voters drop their ballot into one of two boxes: white for Yes and black for No. However, No has never won. Kim's long-term focus is to force Washington into accepting the idea of North Korea as a nuclear power, and he may be intent on driving up tensions in a US Election year with a view to.
SEOUL, Nov 28 (Reuters) - North Korea on Tuesday made a rare mention of dissenting votes in recent elections, although analysts dismissed it as an attempt to portray an image of a more democratic society.
