[New Release] Difficult Public Official Election Law Explained Simply

South Korea's election law is criticized for being excessively regulation-centered and complex, making it difficult to understand. To use a musical analogy, the notes are listed so intricately that it becomes challenging to perform. This regulation-heavy and complicated legal system is pointed out as an obstacle to a fair election process, causing numerous controversies. The author, who has long worked at the Election Commission, introduces the Public Official Election Act in a way that voters can easily understand based on this awareness of the problem. In particular, the provisions related to political expression are explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Emphasizing the Constitutional Court's opinion that "freedom should be the principle and prohibition the exception" regarding political expression, various cases are introduced according to status, subject, period, and type of act concerning freedom of expression. This book aims to be a practical guide that goes beyond a theoretical introduction of concepts and can be referenced in real situations. Additionally, it reviews the limitations and problems of the current Public Official Election Act and offers opinions on revising the legal system toward a more effective direction.
