As a result of the survey of 1,526 voters, 91.9% of the total respondents answered that they were interested in the presidential election. This was a slightly lower number than the survey conducted during the 20th presidential election (89.9%).
Among them, interest among voters aged 18 to 29 also increased significantly from the previous presidential election. In this survey, interest in this age group was 84.2%, up 7.2%.
The age group that showed the most interest was those in their 40s, at 95.4%. They also had a high intention to participate in the vote. Of all respondents, 86.0% answered that they would "definitely vote," which was the same as the last presidential election.
This is a 3.0% increase from the 83.0% at the time. Even among those aged 18 to 29, who have traditionally been considered to have low rates of political participation, 75.3% intend to vote, up 8.9% from the previous presidential election.
The percentage of people who said they intended to vote in advance was 38.6%. This was an increase from the previous presidential election (27.4%), but it was still lower than the recent parliamentary elections (41.4%) and local elections.
This is a lower level than in in-person elections (45.2%). When asked why they would participate in early voting, the most common answer at 38.6% was "because early voting is convenient."
When asked what factors voters consider most important when selecting a candidate, the most common answer was "ability and background" (31.8%).
This was followed by "policies and pledges" (27.3%), "morality" (22.9%), and "party affiliation" (12.9%). In addition, the majority of voters recognized the expected effect of voting positively.
84.9% of respondents answered that "the future of the country can change through elections," and 84.8% agreed with the statement that "my vote influences the election results."
The percentage of people who agreed with "changing the quality" was 73.1%.
