2024 Elections

Expected Elections

Parliamentary elections were expected to be held in North Korea in March or April 2024, as per previous election cycles.

Delayed or Canceled

However, due to a lack of communication from North Korean authorities, it is believed that the 2024 elections may have been delayed or canceled.

Kim Jong-un's Absence

In the 2019 elections, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un did not stand for the Supreme People's Assembly, marking the first time a North Korean ruler had not done so.

Dissenting Votes

In a rare occurrence, North Korea acknowledged dissenting votes in the recent elections. However, analysts have dismissed this as an attempt to project an image of democratic practices within the country.
