The last day of registration of candidates for the 14th term of the presidential elections


However, according to the ruling spirit of the election law, in which “white” and “unreadable” votes are considered “invalid” votes, it can be considered that the votes given to people other than the official election candidates are among the invalid votes that are counted.  When announcing the results of the presidential election, the total number of invalid and uncountable votes is not announced separately, and only the number of “invalid” votes is announced. Therefore, it can be seen that during the announcement of the results of each area, only the number of votes that can be counted (correct or invalid) is announced, and the cases covered by Article 26 of the Election Law are basically not recognized as votes.
