More foreigners living in Korea are eligible to vote in local elections than ever, but not everyone is aware of that, leading to a process that requires a bit more discussion and evidence procurement than expected for some.

The number of foreigners eligible to vote in the June 3 local elections rose to an all-time high of over 150,000, government data showed Wednesday.

The number of foreign nationals eligible to vote in South Korea’s local elections has grown large enough to form a noticeable voting bloc in some major cities.
