The Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party has narrowed its chairperson candidates to three.
The election will be held on August 15 using a preferential voting system.
According to the Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party Election Management Committee on August 3, Kwon Hyang-yeop, Jo Gye-won, and Ahn Do-geol have registered as candidates.
The party will hold a regular members' meeting at the Naju Comprehensive Sports Park Multipurpose Gymnasium at noon on August 15 to elect the chairperson.
Voting will take place online for party members and national delegates affiliated with the Gwangju City Party.
Voting for party members will be conducted from 9 a.m. on August 13 to 9 p.m. on August 14, while national delegates will vote from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the day of the members' meeting, August 15.
Since there are more than three candidates, a preferential voting system will be applied to determine the ranking of candidates.
If no candidate receives a majority of votes in the first count, the second-choice votes of the candidate with the fewest votes will be redistributed to the remaining candidates to determine the winner.
During the members' meeting, the three candidates will present their platforms, followed by a voting deadline at 1 p.m. and the start of the vote counting.
After the vote counting concludes, a joint speech session for the party leader and supreme council candidates will take place. The results of the city party chair election will be announced, along with the acceptance speech from the elected candidate, after the speeches conclude at 2:30 p.m.
