Today (3rd) the presidential election will be held... Attention is focused on whether the voter turnout for the 20th presidential election will exceed 77.1% = South Korea

As the final voting for South Korea's 21st presidential election takes place from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the 3rd, attention is focused on whether the voter turnout will exceed that of the 20th presidential election (77.1%).
According to the National Election Commission on the 2nd, the last election with a voter turnout of over 80% since the introduction of the direct presidential election system in 1987 was the 2016 election in which former President Kim Dae-jung was elected.
The 15th presidential election (80.7%). The 16th presidential election, in which the late former president Roh Moo-hyun was elected, had a voter turnout of 70.8%, and the 17th presidential election, in which former president Lee Myung-bak was elected, had a voter turnout of 10.7%.
The 17th presidential election, in which former president Park Geun-hye won, had a voter turnout of only 63.0%. The 18th presidential election, in which former president Park Geun-hye won (75.8%), and the 19th presidential election, in which former president Moon Jae-in won (76.4%), had a voter turnout of only 63.0%.
The 19th presidential election (77.2%) in which former president Yoon Seok-yeol was elected, and the 20th presidential election (77.1%) in which former president Yoon Seok-yeol was elected, both had votes over 75%, but the 80% mark was still low.
It did not reach the target. In the 19th presidential election, which was held following the impeachment of the previous president, the early voter turnout was 26.06% and the final voter turnout was 77.2%.
The early voting rate for the upcoming election was 34.74%, 8.68 points higher than the 19th presidential election. If the turnout rate approaches 80%, which is considered to be the total number of voters from both conservative and progressive camps, the camps will be able to win.
The race is likely to be a close one, with a thin ice outcome. In response to low early voting turnout in the conservative strongholds of TK (Daegu and North Gyeongsang), the ruling People's Power Party has decided to reject the results of the main vote.
He is urging his supporters to actively vote, saying that a "golden cross" (a reversal of support rates) is possible depending on the outcome. The early voting rate in Daegu was 25.6%, the lowest among the 17 cities and provinces nationwide.
Meanwhile, the number one early voting rate in South Jeolla Province was 56.5%, a difference of 30.9 percentage points.
"There were a lot of concerns about the management of early voting, so it seems that conservative supporters did not come out to vote very often," he said. "We believe that if many of our supporters turn out in tomorrow's main vote, we can turn the tide."
He said.
