President Lee Jae-myung urged citizens to participate in voting on the second day of early voting for the 9th nationwide local elections on May 30.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) titled "Let’s Make Sure to Vote," President Lee stated, "Voting is the lifeline of democracy," adding that "abstaining from voting is akin to giving up the future of oneself and one’s family."
He further emphasized, "Not voting is not neutrality; it is siding with those who harm my life and community."
Earlier, on the first day of early voting, President Lee and First Lady Kim Hye-kyung visited a polling station in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul to cast their votes.
