Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City Vice Mayors to Be Directly Recommended by Citizens... Appointments by Mid-August

Applications Accepted at Ministry of Personnel Management Website and Local Offices from the 10th to 15th

With the launch of Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, two new local government Vice Mayors for political affairs will be selected through the Citizen Recommendation System.

The Citizen Recommendation System is a participatory personnel selection system in which the public directly recommends vice-ministerial-level Vice Mayors, reflecting the scale and status of Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, which was established as a top-tier, ultra-metropolitan administrative system through administrative integration.

This is a meaningful first step in which citizens become the main agents of city administration and take the initiative, as anyone, including oneself, can submit a recommendation.

Recommendations can be submitted through the National Recommendation System website of the Ministry of Personnel Management from the 10th to the 15th. The candidates for Vice Mayor will be selected with consideration for gender balance by applying the Gender Equality Target System. The final appointment process, including candidate recommendations, qualification screening, public recruitment, and a city council personnel hearing, is scheduled to be completed by mid-August to minimize any administrative gaps in the early stages of integration.

Kang Jongcheol, Director General of the Autonomous Administration at Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, said, "We ask the people to choose the right person who will lead citizen-sovereign administration."
