SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un voted in nationwide local elections on Sunday that registered the near 100 percent turnout claimed for every ballot held in the nuclear-armed state.
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". The regime touts the high turnout as an example of its"single-minded unity" to glorify the"Korean-style people-centered socialism".Kim visited a polling station in North Hamgyong province and voted for two candidates - named Ju Song Ho and Jong Song Sik - running for county assemblies in the area, KCNA reported.
