It has not yet been decided whether a nationwide tour of regional primaries will be held. Jeong Jeomsik, secretary-general and vice chairman of the commission, stated, "At the next meeting, we plan to discuss whether to hold offline regional rallies and other events across the country."

Regarding the proposal by Yoon Heesook, the party's Innovation Committee chair, to elect the party leader and others based on 100% public opinion, Secretary-General Jeong explained, "This would require an amendment to the party constitution," and added, "It is not an issue that can be decided by the Election Commission."
