“[KBS Busan] The Busan City Election Commission is strengthening its crackdown on illegal activities related to the nationwide simultaneous Saemaul Credit Union chairman election and the Busan City Superintendent by-election ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.
The commission plans to take stern measures, such as filing charges, if prospective candidates provide money or conduct preliminary election campaigns to raise their profile.
Voters who accept holiday gifts or meals may be fined between 10 to 50 times the amount received, up to a maximum of 30 million won.”
