Early voting has kicked off for the April 3rd by-elections.
Up for grabs: the districts of Changwon-Seongsan and Tongyeong-Goseong.
Voters will be able to visit polling stations for the next two days between 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The by-elections will serve as a litmus test towards the parties in Gyeongsangnam-do Province.... ahead of next year's general elections.
A poll in mid-March showed the main opposition Liberty Korea Party and the minor progressive Justice Party neck-and-neck in the race for the Changwon Seongsan district.
But the Justice Party may get a boost,.. as it decided to file single candidacy with the ruling Democratic Party.
The same poll showed the Liberty Korea Party candidate in a comfortable lead in the other constituency.
