President Lee Jae-myung on the 30th, the second day of early voting for the June 3 local elections, urged voters to go to the polls.

In a post titled "Let's all vote" on X (formerly Twitter) that day, the president emphasized, "Voting is the lifeline of democracy," and said, "Giving up voting is like abandoning the future of myself and my family."

The president also said, "Abstaining from voting is not neutrality but siding with those who harm my life and our community."

Earlier, on the 29th, the first day of early voting, the president voted with first lady Kim Hea-kyung at a polling place set up at the Samcheong-dong community center in Jongno District, Seoul, near the presidential office.
