The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association will be held on the 26th.

The election management committee of the Korea Football Association confirmed in a press release on the 8th, "We confirmed the detailed schedule of the election with a second meeting this afternoon," adding, "The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association will take place on the 26th, and the voting place is the Korea Football Association."

The voter list lottery will be held on the morning of the 11th, the day of the 3rd election steering committee meeting.

The lottery will be held by outside companies, and candidates' representatives and neutral observers will be present in addition to the election management committee for fairness.

For three days from the 12th to the 14th, the list of electors will be read and objections will be filed.

The Election Commission announced on the 15th that it would confirm the electoral list and posted a notice on the website of the Korea Football Association to inform the campaign period.

The election campaign period was set from the 16th, the day after the list was confirmed, to the 25th, the day before the election.

The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association is a three-way race between current chairman Chung Mong-kyu, former national soccer team coach Huh Jung-moo, and visiting professor Shinmun-seon.

The election was scheduled to take place on the 8th of last month, but candidate Huh's application for a provisional injunction against the Korea Football Association was cited in the Seoul Central District Court and delayed once.

Subsequently, members of the Election Commission resigned en masse at the time and were temporarily postponed.

On the 4th, Park Young-soo, who served as the secretary-general of the Central Election Commission in the past, took the chairmanship and a new election management committee was formed.

Candidate Shin and Huh raised questions about fairness again, but the Election Commission decided to proceed with the election normally on the 26th.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission also announced its position on reviewing candidate qualifications and expanding the electorate raised by the two candidates.

Regarding the review of candidate qualifications, he explained, "Candidate Shin and Huh claimed that the Election Commission did not deliberate on Chung's right to run for election, but it is not true. After discussing it at two meetings of the Election Commission, the court cannot clearly cover the existence of disqualification reasons for the "social object, etc." in the articles of association."

He added, "We decided to maintain the qualifications of candidates who have already completed registration, considering that the process of determining the existence of the reason for disqualification should precede, and that there is room for dispute over whether the Election Commission has the authority to make a judgment on this.

Regarding the opinion that the number of electors should be expanded, he said, "The Election Management Committee can operate elections only within the scope of the election management regulations for the president of the Korea Football Association. It does not have the authority to decide on structural reforms such as expanding the size of the president's electors and changing the distribution method by function."

"The number of electors is determined in accordance with Article 8 of the Presidential Election Management Regulations (Composition of Electors), and changes can only be made through the revision of the Presidential Election Management Regulations. This is an issue that can only be implemented after a resolution by the board of directors of the Korea Football Association and then approved by the Korea Sports Council," he said, adding that it is not their responsibility. 온라인카지노

Finally, the Election Commission promised, "We will do our best to maintain fairness and transparency in the election process by supplementing the problems pointed out by the court within the framework of the Korea Football Association's articles of association and presidential election management regulations."
