South Korea holds elections in masks and clinics

Voters wore masks and stood at least 1m apart. They had their temperature taken, disinfected their hands and wore plastic gloves.

Only then were they given their voting slip and allowed to head into the booth to cast their ballot.

These are just some of the measures taken to allow the scheduled National Assembly election to take place during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Three hundred seats at the National Assembly are being contested. Thirty-five parties have registered candidates, but the race will be between the ruling Minjoo (Democratic) Party and the main opposition, the conservative United Future Party.
