Elections in North Korea

Elections in North Korea are held every four-to-five years for the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), the country's national legislature, and every four years for Local People's Assemblies. Critics argue that North Korean elections lack competition and allow the government to claim legitimacy. According to official reports, turnout is near 100%.

All seats are won by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea. The founding and ruling Workers' Party of Korea dominates the Front and holds 87.5% of the seats, with 7.4% for the Korean Social Democratic Party, 3.2% for the Chondoist Chongu Party, and 1.9% for independent deputies.
