S. Korea's June 3rd presidential election sees record-high overseas voter turnout

Overseas voter turnout for the June 3rd presidential election has hit a record high of almost 80-percent.

The National Election Commission announced on Monday that a little over 205-thousand South Korean nationals living abroad cast their ballots which is around 79-point-5 percent of eligible overseas voters.

Ballots will be shipped back to Korea, and will be checked at Incheon International Airport, watched by observers recommended by the National Assembly.

They will then be mailed to regional election commissions, and remain sealed before they're counted on voting day.

The overseas voting, which ran for six days starting May 20th, closed on Sunday at 223 polling stations in 118 countries.
