      It's National Assembly elections day here in South Korea. Voters are flocking to polling stations despite coronavirus. At 8am we're already at 5% turnout vs 4.1% four years ago. Authorities are pulling out all the stops to ensure elections are carried out safely. #국회의원선거pic.twitter.com/lH5Z3fZSDF

          Also, for people who are under compulsory self-isolation, that's sorted too: they will be able to vote under very strict rules. Will be allowed outside today between 5:20-7pm, escorted and only allowed to go vote. Nothing else.https://twitter.com/koryodynasty/status/1249264988717375495?s=20 …

          Self-isolators would have received a text message asking about will to vote today. If they have no symptoms, they can go just before polls close to avoid everyone else. Voters must go to designated local polling station, so we are talking of a handful (or less?) of people.

          A few weeks ago, Pres Moon Jae-in & ruling Democratic Party's approval ratings fell due to coronavirus outbreak. And then the botched response abroad (especially in the West) happened, making many here re-evaluate their country's response. Moon's latest rating shot up to 54.4%.pic.twitter.com/EIIjAogm0a

          Polling stations during the #KoreanElection2020 are taking no risks. In Jecheon this morning, 2 people had body temp of 38°C or above. So they were made to vote at a separate booth.

The reason for the surge since midday is that early voting, home voting, shipboard voting, and overseas voting have been added to the count.pic.twitter.com/6Ac8k5ik1j
