Legislative elections in South Korea
The composition of the National Assembly of South Korea is determined by elections every four years.Any South Korean citizen over the age of 25 is eligible to stand for election.And, under the terms of the Public Official Election Act, the active electoral right, that is, the right to vote is vested in every South Korean citizen who has reached the age of 18.[1] In 2001, the Constitutional Court held that allocation of seats for the ‘party’ legislators under the mixed-member proportional representation system was unconstitutional as it distorted democratic will.As a result, the Court required the National Assembly to introduce electoral reform and allow each voter to have two votes since 2004.
