Topic Reading-Vol.699-3/11/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
North Koreans vote in rubber-stamp elections.
Election in a solely dictated country? That’s what took place in North Korea on 9th March. Surprisingly, there are 687 electoral districts across the country and the unshakable leader Kim Jong-un is also registered as a candidate in one of the districts.
What happened if he fails to be elected? No need to worry. It is said that only one candidate runs for the seat, so the electors need to choose either “yes” or “no”, and the latter choice seems most unlikely to be seen even at nearly 100% turnout.
Enjoy reading and learning about a democratic political process in one of the most dictated states in the world.
