Indonesian Home Minister Tito Karnavian held a meeting with South Korean Ambassador to Indonesia Kim Chang-Beom to learn about the success of holding elections in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tito Karnavian said in Jakarta on Monday that South Korea had successfully held its legislative elections even though it was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Tito, the national legislative elections in South Korea took place on April 15, but the stages had begun from January at the peak of the pandemic in Korea. But South Korea was able to register the highest voter turnout since the 1992 elections, which amounted to 96.6 percent. Meanwhile Ambassador Kim Chang-Beom expressed his hope that the 2020 Regional Election in Indonesia will be a success even in the midst of a pandemic. (trans/ANTARA)
