Early voting

Independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, running for a parliamentary seat in Seoul’s Nowon C District, poses before casting his ballot during early voting for the April 24 by-election, Friday. It is the first use of the new voting provision after it was introduced under a revised law in February 2012. Early voting differs from absentee voting in that it allows voters who expect to be busy or away on an election day to cast their ballots during a designated period. / Korea Times
