GNP Seeks to Allow Expatriates to Vote
The ruling Grand National Party is seeking the revision of a law currently prohibiting Korean expatriates from casting ballots in domestic elections.
GNP senior policy-maker Jang Yoon-seok said the revision is based on the Constitutional Court’s ruling that keeping Koreans living abroad from voting in domestic elections is unconstitutional.
He said that his party will promote the revision at the parliament’s plenary session in September.
Jang said that with a series of elections approaching over the next several years, it is an appropriate time to revise the election law. He said the GNP will hold a public hearing early next month to gauge public opinion.
