The April 3rd by-elections are just two days away.
Up for grabs are two parliamentary seats... for the districts of Changwon Seongsan.... and Tongyeong-Goseong, in Gyeongsangnam-do Province.
The latest polls show that the single candidate representing both the ruling Democratic Party and the minor Justice Party is in the lead in the Changwon Seongsan district,... while for the Tongyeong-Goseong constituency,... the main opposition Liberty Korea Party candidate is in the lead.
Meanwhile, turnout in the early voting for the two districts came to 14-point-7 percent.
It's the highest turnout for parliamentary by-elections since the early voting system was introduced in 2013.
The by-elections are expected to serve as a barometer of public sentiment in the traditionally conservative province ahead of next year's general elections.
