Yoon Suk-yeol got a boost on Thursday when a fellow conservative dropped out and threw his support behind Yoon, in a move that could tip the balance of the closely fought election away from the ruling liberals. Moon’s ruling party is represented by Lee Jae-myung.
The race has focussed on seeking a leader to clean up polarised politics and corruption, and tackle the runaway housing prices and deepening inequality that have dogged Asia’s fourth-largest economy.
Yoon has encouraged people with COVID-19 or isolating to vote, saying they could amount to millions out of more than 40 million eligible voters.
Yoon and his rival Lee, as well as President Moon all cast their votes on Friday morning.
While the pandemic did not prevent big campaign rallies, leading presidential runners have run “contact-free” campaigns. Lee met supporters at a drive-in movie theatre.
Yoon’s main opposition party launched a phone app that allows voters to watch campaign rallies where its candidate is a featured speaker.
South Korea held a national election in 2020 and regional polls last year, with infected people required to mail in their ballots or use special polling stations at hospitals. Daily COVID-19 infections were in the hundreds at most at that time. This week they topped 200,000.
But while case numbers have surged, South Korea has rolled back some restrictions in recent days and suspended the use of a digital-tracking scheme credited with the early success in containing the virus.
“The situation has changed a lot since the last general election, with far more cases,” said a disease control agency official. “And their political rights have to be protected.”
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But imagine if you added some great pictures or
videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is
excellent but with pics and clips, this site could definitely be one
of the very best in its field. Terrific blog!
Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or
something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured
I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though!
Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which
I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how
you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to
begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!
Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar
one and i was just wondering if you get a
lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against
it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like
to shoot you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
I read this post completely regarding the difference of latest and earlier technologies, it’s amazing article.
Very good article. I’m dealing with many
of these issues as well..
