Furthermore, to encourage all residents to participate in the June 3 Presidential Election, the county will foster an election atmosphere with the slogan, "A Vote from Yeongam Residents Changes Korea."

The county has hung banners promoting election information and voting participation at 45 key locations along major roads in the county office area and towns. Additionally, voting participation sculptures have been installed at 9 roundabouts with heavy vehicle traffic.

Other promotional activities include posting banners on the Yeongam County website and official social media channels, displaying messages on the digital signboard on the county office building exterior, changing public officials' social media profile pictures, installing banners in the civil service office and town administrative welfare centers, updating the administrative phone connection message, attaching posters to county buses and administrative vehicles, and sending official notices to institutions and social organizations.

In particular, the county sent election participation notices to high schools with students born before June 4, 2007, who are eligible to vote for the first time. Going forward, Yeongam County plans to continue promoting participation in the presidential election through text messages and announcements in villages and apartment complexes.

Additionally, in cooperation with the Yeongam County Election Commission, the county will deploy 15 vehicles to 10 towns, 86 villages, and 28 routes where traffic inconveniences are expected on election day.

Governor Woo stated, "Elections are a festival of democracy, and voting is the flower of democracy. We will provide seamless support for voting in cooperation with the Yeongam County Election Commission so that every resident can exercise their voting rights guaranteed by the Constitution. We will also continue our promotional efforts to ensure that every single person can cast their vote."
