Everyone votes, but there is no choice in North Korean elections

North Korea held its five-yearly parliamentary election on March 10, the second time the polls have been held since Kim Jong-un came to power.

But in keeping with one of Pyongyang's most enduring slogans – "Single-minded unity" – the red ballot sheets only have a single name of the local Workers' Party of Korea-selected candidate.

In 2014, a similar election was described as attracting a 99.9 per cent turnout rate, with 100 per cent of votes cast in favour of Kim’s ruling party.

Imagine how the TV reporter discusses the NoKor Election surveys.

Kim Jong Un - 99.99%
Death - 00.01%

If you ever feel useless just remember that someone has to count these

Even China thinks North Korea's idea of democracy is a joke...

[malcolmabram]

I don't understand why people are so critical of Kim Yong Un. He gets 100% of the vote with a 100% turn out every time. He must be very popular with his people.

North Koreans: So we can vote?

Kim Jong-un: Well yes but actually no

[adandavid]

I think Kim Jong-Un will win the 2024 elections instead of Kim Jong-Un, but Kim Jong-Un is definitely a better candidate than Kim Jong-Un. But feel free to state your opinions on who will win.

[tobyriecke]

I’d be the anoyying guy in the line that asks the person behind me “so who are you voting for”

[numba]

A man: doesn't vote
the next day: A man from pyeungyang commited suicide by shooting himself 7 times in the back

[adepic]
