South Korea is holding local elections today.
Voters are choosing some four-thousand officials, including the mayors and governors of 17 cities and provinces, local councilors and education superintendents.
It's been more than two hours since the polling stations opened at 6a.m. local time.
Our Ko Roon-hee is at a station in the Jongno district of central Seoul.
Roon-hee, have you seen a lot of people coming in to vote?

Good to see you again, Mark.
It's only been a couple of hours since the doors were opened at 6a.m., but a good amount of voters are filtering in.
More and more people are expected to line up, to choose their representatives for the next four years.

For the voter turnout, as of 7am on this Election day...
The turnout for the entire nation stands at two-point-two percent.
Breaking it down by major cities in South Korea..
In Seoul, we stand at one-point-seven percent.
In Busan, two-point-zero percent.
Daegu at two-point-one percent, and Incheon at one-point-eight percent.
In Gwangju, the turnout is one-point-nine percent.
Now to quickly give you an overview of this year's election, candidates are competing for more than four-thousand local administrative, legislative, and educational posts.
This includes 17 metropolitan mayors and provincial governors.
There are also by-elections being held to fill twelve vacant parliamentary seats.
Now, this election is special for South Korea… because it's the first election under the Moon Jae-in administration.
This might serve as an indicator of people's sentiment toward the liberal leader's young administration.
That's all I have for now, but I will bring you more updates in our later newscast. Mark?
