📰RX03: Nearly 100% Turnout in🇰🇵 North Korea Local Polls, 👉Kim Jong Un Also Votes

-

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un voted in nationwide local elections on Sunday that registered the near 100 per cent turnout claimed for every ballot held in the nuclear-armed state.

Given the absence of any competition among candidates, elections in the North are essentially a political ritual which, observers say, allows the authorities to claim a popular mandate while reinforcing loyalty to Kim's regime.

The 99.98 per cent turnout this year was a 0.01 per cent improvement on the figures registered in 2015.

Only those overseas "on foreign tour or working in oceans" were unable to vote, the North's state-run agency KCNA reported Sunday, adding that even "voters troubled with aging or illness cast their ballots into mobile ballot boxes".

Players must drive to games in their own cars and dressing rooms will not be used Clubs have been given the go-ahead to take part in friendly matches ahead of the planned resumption of the Premier League. But venues must be no more than 90 minutes away and players must travel in their own cars to and from fixtures while wearing the kit they will play in. PGMOL referees and assistants are yet to be tested for COVID-19 so, for now, club coaching staff will referee matches. It's hoped that the country's top referees will be available to officiate in the week before the planned return to match action on June 17. If held at a stadium, players will enter via the players' entrance and walk straight onto the pitch, before warming up. Dressing rooms will not be used. Premier League clubs were cleared to resume contract training last week, paving the way for competitive action to resume later this month.
