Former President Park Geun-hye visited a polling station in Dalseong County, Daegu, on the 3rd, the day of the June 3 nationwide local elections, and cast her ballot.
Park arrived around 10 a.m. at Uga-eup's No. 3 polling station set up at Biseul Elementary School in Dalseong County, Daegu. Some citizens gathered early at the site to see Park. She arrived at the polling station wearing white pants and a pink shirt. After exchanging glances with citizens, she stood behind voters who had arrived earlier and waited her turn to vote.
After voting, Park met with reporters and said, "Voting is a very important right of the people and at the same time a duty," adding, "I hope everyone will exercise that precious vote so we can build a better future for Korea."
She added, "Because each precious vote comes together to set the direction the country will take, I hope people will participate 'without fail,' not just 'in large numbers.'"
When asked by reporters about future plans for conservative unity, she hesitated briefly and, smiling, said, "I'll just go," before leaving the scene.
