Kim Jong Un Wins 99.93% in North Korea Elections with Full Voter Turnout

NK Elections: 99.99% Turnout

The elections for the 15th Supreme People's Assembly were held on March 15, witnessing a staggering voter turnout of 99.99 percent. According to local media, nearly everyone—99.93 percent—cast their vote in favor of the Workers' Party, while a mere 0.07 percent chose to vote against the candidates presented to them. Interestingly, a tiny fraction of voters, 0.0037 percent, were unable to cast their ballots, and an even smaller 0.00003 percent abstained.

Laws from Workers' Party Only

The Supreme People's Assembly, North Korea's parliament, consists of 687 members, all elected from various regions across the country. Each representative, whether a worker, farmer, intellectual, military personnel, or official, was chosen through a process that adheres to the country’s electoral laws.
However, it’s crucial to understand that while the Assembly is responsible for making laws, those laws are essentially crafted by the ruling Workers' Party and merely approved by the parliament. 

Single Candidate for Every Seat

In a unique twist, there were no opposition candidates on the ballot. Voters were presented with only one pre-approved candidate per constituency, meaning the 0.07 percent who voted "no" did not have a rival party or leader to support. Instead, their dissent was a direct rejection of the lone candidate offered. With state officials overseeing the polling process, casting a “no” vote is quite rare.

Netizens Roast the "No" Votes

In the wake of these near-perfect statistics, social media users wasted no time in poking fun at the situation. Many joked about the "brave" few who dared to express their discontent, suggesting they might face some "serious consequences." Others humorously compared the voting dynamics to group projects, where everyone seems to rally behind the leader, regardless of their true feelings.
