The election was held in strict conformity with the Law on the Elections of Deputies to the People’s Assemblies at All Levels.

All the voters, well aware of the importance of the voting card associated with the highest dignity and honour of their great country, took part in the election with solemn reverence for the DPRK national emblem and flag shining brightly at the polling stations.

According to the election returns, 99.99 percent of all the voters registered on the voter rolls across the country attended the election, with 0.0037 percent of the voters failing to vote as they are currently abroad or working in oceans and 0.00003 percent abstaining.

Among the voters who attended the election, 99.93 percent balloted for the candidates and 0.07 percent against. As a result, under the Law of the DPRK on the Elections of Deputies to the People's Assemblies at All Levels, 687 workers, farmers, intellectuals, servicepersons and officials were elected to be SPA deputies.

The result shows that, as patriotic citizens who have dedicated themselves to the country and the people, the elected SPA deputies have necessary qualification and ability of a state political activist for fulfilling important mission and responsibility in the struggle for implementing the decisions of the Ninth WPK Congress, as required by the new period of great upsurge.

Through the election, all the voters clearly demonstrated their ardent desire and self-confidence to reliably defend their glorious state political system and successfully realize all ideals and happiness on the great strength of loyalty and patriotism.

The DPRK is the eternal state of the people and its national sovereignty is the one of the people being built by all the Korean people.

The election of deputies to the 15th SPA of the DPRK marked an important political occasion in further glorifying the great state-building ideas and exploits of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and providing the powerful sovereign guarantee for accelerating the prosperity and development of Korean-style socialism, true to the fighting programme set forth by the Ninth WPK Congress.
