Longest-ever ballot
An election worker holds up a 51.7-centimeter mock ballot for the proportional representation race for the April 10 general elections at the National Election Commission (NEC) office in Jongno District, Seoul, Wednesday, one day before the official election campaign kicks off. According to the NEC, 38 parties have registered for 46 proportional representation slots, and NEC officials will have to count votes by hand as electronic counting machines can only process shorter ballots listing up to 24 parties.
