While the main vote, scheduled for June 3, can only be cast at the polling station designated for one's registered address, early voting allows voters to cast their ballots at any early voting station nationwide regardless of residence, using the integrated electoral roll.


Voters participating in early voting within their own district, city, or county (i.e., within their registered jurisdiction) will receive the ballot paper, mark their choice, and immediately place it in the ballot box.



In contrast, voters casting early votes outside their registered address (i.e., in a different jurisdiction) will receive both the ballot paper and a return envelope. After marking their ballot, they must place it in the envelope, seal it, and then put the sealed envelope into the ballot box.
