Adjustments to Active Duty Enlistment and Reserve Training for the 'June 3 Early Presidential Election'

Military Service Physical Examinations Closed and Active Duty Enlistment Postponed on June 3
Reserve Forces Training Also Suspended During Election Period

The enlistment dates for active duty soldiers will be adjusted in accordance with the presidential election scheduled for June 3.

On the 14th, the Military Manpower Administration announced that it will close for military service physical examinations on election day, June 3, and adjust the enlistment dates for active duty soldiers.

According to the Military Manpower Administration, local Military Manpower Offices nationwide and the Central Military Manpower Physical Examination Center will be closed for one day on election day and will not conduct any physical examinations. Those who have been notified to undergo examinations on June 3 will be allowed to reschedule their appointments before or after election day.

Additionally, the enlistment date for active duty soldiers scheduled to enlist on election day will be postponed by one day to June 4. The unit and enlistment time (2 PM) will remain the same.

Reserve forces training will also be suspended from June 12 until election day in accordance with the Reserve Forces Act and related laws. The Reserve Forces Act stipulates that training shall not be conducted during the period of public elections in which citizens directly vote by law.

The assembly dates for those scheduled for military mobilization training and reserve alternative service will be adjusted to after election day.

A Military Manpower Administration official stated, "We will ensure that those subject to military service physical examinations, active duty enlistment, and military mobilization training are accurately informed of the changes in examination and enlistment (assembly) dates through personal notification messages and postings on the Military Manpower Administration website."
