Voting practices and procedures

The purpose of elections in North Korea that year was to determine the location of voters and, in theory, their political allegiance, as well as to fill parliament seats with new members who are loyal to Kim Jong Un. Members of the Supreme People's Assembly were elected in single-member constituencies, with one approved candidate put forward in each constituency. Large groups of voters were presented with a ballot while moving through a voting booth, on which there was a single box to tick a candidate's name. Voters had to stop to cross out the candidate, making the process a monitored event. Voting is also compulsory in North Korea. Some North Koreans in China who defected to South Korea after the famine in their home country in the mid-1990s had said that they did so because they feared punishment back home for failing to show up for parliamentary elections.
