Presidential election date to be finalized today... Candidates to be selected by mid-next month - South Korean media

Acting President and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will decide and announce the date of the 21st presidential election at a Cabinet meeting to be held on the morning of the 8th.
Public officials who are running in the upcoming presidential election must resign from public office by the 4th of next month. The South Korean government held a cabinet meeting on the same day to discuss and decide on the date for the presidential election.
The date of the presidential election has not yet been decided, but in a phone interview with Roh Tae-ak, chairman of the National Election Commission, Acting President Han confirmed that the presidential election will be held on June 3.
As a general consensus has been reached, it is expected that the presidential election will be held on the same day, unless there are special circumstances.
Normally, presidential election day is set to take place on a Wednesday.
There is no rule on the day of the week for a presidential election to be held when a president is impeached, and the Fair Election Act stipulates that it must be held within 60 days of the presidential vacancy occurring.
The 60th day since the impeachment is June 3rd (Tuesday). When former President Park Geun-hye was impeached in the past, the next presidential election was scheduled for 10 days after the impeachment trial announcement (March 10, 2017).
The deadline was set for Tuesday, May 9, 2017, after the statutory 60-day deadline had expired. As the presidential election was called following the sudden loss of the president, the deadline was set to ensure the maximum amount of time necessary to verify the candidates.
If the presidential election date is confirmed as June 3rd at the Cabinet meeting today, the deadline for candidate registration applications will be May 10th to 11th, 24 days before the election date, during the official election campaign period.
The period runs from May 12th to June 2nd, the day before the election. Public office holders who wish to run for election must resign from public office by May 4th, 30 days before the election. However, in the case of Diet members,
There are no separate regulations. Advance voting is expected to take place over two days, from May 29 to 30, five days before the election.
The person elected as the 21st President will begin his term immediately upon confirmation of his election.
The winner will nominate key cabinet members, and no presidential transition committee will be formed.
