National Assembly Speaker Park Byung-seok said it is necessary to review whether the 2022 presidential elections and national local elections are held at the same time. He said: “In the first half of next year, presidential and local elections will be held every three months. Considerable consumption of national energy is expected.” “He said.
This is a statement made by some members of the Korean Democratic Party in May. Since the time interval between the next presidential elections (scheduled for March 9) and the local elections (June 1) is only three months, the purpose of the simultaneous elections was to avoid wasted costs and the division of public opinion due to frequent national elections.
However, for this to happen, it is necessary to review the Public Officials Elections Law. This is a difficult task considering the opinions found among the opposition parties on the revision or abolition of the quasi-linked proportional representation system introduced at the time of the 21 general elections, and the position of the opposition parties considering the disadvantages of the simultaneous elections.
In this regard, President Park also expressed his intention to re-propose an official proposal to the ruling and opposition parties when the crown issue subsides.
When asked about the task of the National Assembly in the first half of 21, he said: “It is to reduce the national energy consumption and protect the health of the people from the crisis of the crown.” Furthermore, he said, “If the electoral system (quasi-linked proportional representation system) was supplemented and revised, which resulted in a different result than the original purpose, and the question of constitutional amendment what would happen if the first half of the 21 Assembly Nacional is not successful, it is a task in the first half of the 21 “.
“I hope that the ruling party is committed to finishing the adjustment of the judicial authority as soon as possible.”

President Park said, “After the regular National Assembly ends, the reform of the National Assembly must also be accelerated.” “The ‘National Assembly that does a good job’ is a joint promise of the opposition parties. I hope that the ruling party’s promise to coordinate the authority of the judicial committee will be completed as soon as possible.”

It is an important issue and there is controversy, so the process of achieving public consensus is critical. Although the development is a firm conviction, please understand that there is a limit to expressing an official position of either party. “
