1948 North Korean parliamentary election


Parliamentary elections were held for the first Supreme People's Assembly of the soon-to-be established Democratic People's Republic of Korea on 25 August 1948. Organised by the People's Committee of North Korea, the elections saw 572 deputies elected, of which 212 were from North Korea and 360 from South Korea.

Background

-sponsored elections for the Constitutional Assembly in US-occupied South Korea were held on 10 May 1948.
Elections in the Soviet-occupied North were announced at the fifth session of the People's Assembly of North Korea on 9 July 1948 as part of the preparations for the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. At the second conference of leaders of political parties and social organizations from North and South Korea held from 29 June to 5 July, it was decided that the elections should also be held in South Korea. A decision of the Election Guidance Committee determined that the 360 South Korean deputies would be elected indirectly, with South Korean voters electing people's delegates who would subsequently elect the South Korean deputies.
In North Korea, registration of candidates took place until 5 August 1948, with 228 candidates registered in 212 districts. Among the 228 candidates were 212 candidates nominated by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea and 16 other candidates recommended by voters at meetings. The candidates from the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea consisted of 102 candidates from the Workers' Party of North Korea, 35 candidates from the Democratic Party, 35 candidates from the Chondoist Chongu Party and 40 independent candidates. There were 34 women among the 228 candidates.
