Elections in North Korea are held every four-to-five years for the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), the country's national legislature, and every four years for Local People's Assemblies.[1][2] Critics argue that North Korean elections are show elections which lack competition and allow the government to claim a veneer of legitimacy, with all candidates preselected and no option to write in other candidates.[3] According to official reports, turnout is near 100%.[1]
All seats are won by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea.[4][failed verification][needs update] The founding and ruling Workers' Party of Korea dominates the Front and holds 87.5% of the seats, with 7.4% for the Korean Social Democratic Party, 3.2% for the Chondoist Chongu Party, and 1.9% for independent deputies.[5]
