These include official documents for visas and permanent residency, which can differ according to the country, so voters must check the requirements on each embassy or consulate website. Also, citizens living abroad who are visiting Korea can join domestic voters at designated polling stations. But first, they must register in person, between next Monday and June 3rd, at an election office located in the district of their last registered Korean address.

In this election, overseas polling stations were newly established for the first time in four countries where diplomatic missions were recently opened: Cuba, Luxembourg, Lithuania, and Estonia. Over 258-thousand are expected to cast overseas votes, 14 percent more than last year. Overseas ballots are returned to Korea via diplomatic pouches to be counted together with domestic votes after Election Day voting ends. Oh Soo-young, Arirang News.
