제22대 총선 전북자치도 투표율은 67.4%로 잠정 집계됐다.

 

중앙선거관리위원회 선거 통계 시스템에 따르면 전북은 10일 오전 6시부터 오후 6시까지 진행한 본투표에 43만3,052명이 투표를 마쳤으며 전체 유권자 151만7,738명 가운데 102만2,602명(우편ㆍ관내 사전투표 포함)이 참정권을 행사해 32년 만에 역대 최고치인 67.4%를 기록했다.

 

21대 총선 67% 대비 0.4%p 높은 수치며 전국 평균은 66.7%로 지난 21대 총선 투표율 66.2% 대비 0.5%p 높았다.

 

전북지역 투표율은 전국 평균 66.7%에 비해 0.7%p 높게 나타났지만 '21세기 들어 최고 기록'을 세울 수 있었던 70%를 넘지 못한 것은 1당 독주 반감에 따른 정치적 성향을 드러낸 유권자들이 투표장으로 발걸음을 옮기지 않았기 때문으로 분석된다.

 

도내 15개 지역별로 살펴보면 장수군이 74.%로 가장 높았다.

 

이어, 순창 73.3%ㆍ진안 73.1%ㆍ임실 72.07%ㆍ무주 71.3%ㆍ남원시 70.6%ㆍ고창 70.5%ㆍ부안 68.8%ㆍ김제 68.2%ㆍ전주 덕진 68.2%ㆍ완주 67.8%ㆍ정읍 67.6%ㆍ전주 완산 67.2%ㆍ익산 65.7%ㆍ군산 63.3% 등으로 잠정 집계됐다.

 

전북지역 총선 투표율은 18대 47.5%ㆍ19대 53.6%ㆍ20대 62.9%ㆍ21대 67%로 기록됐다.

 

최종 투표율은 전국 개표가 완료되는 11일 오전 발표될 예정이다.

 

전국 잠정 투표율은 66.7%로 세종이 70.2%로 가장 높았다.

 

지역별로는 전남 69%ㆍ광주 68.2%ㆍ전북 67.4%ㆍ대전 66.3%ㆍ경북 65.1%ㆍ인천 64.7%ㆍ충남 65%ㆍ대구 62.9%ㆍ제주 62.2% 순으로 잠정 집계됐다.

 

개표는 투표함 이송이 완료된 오후 6시 30분부터 전국 254개(전북 15개) 개표소에서 일제히 진행되고 있다.

 

이번 선거를 통해 뽑는 국회의원 수는 공직선거법에 따라, 지역구 254명ㆍ비례대표 46명 등 '1인 2표제' 방식으로 선출된 300명의 임기는 2024년 5월 30일부터 2028년 5월 29일까지다.

 

선거구 조정으로 지역구 의원은 21대 총선보다 1명 늘고 비례대표 의원은 1명 줄었다.

 

도내 10개 선거구 모두 국민의힘이 후보를 등록해 16년 만에 여ㆍ야 맞대결이 형성됐으며 군소 정당과 무소속 후보 등 총 33명이 출사표를 던져, 평균 경쟁률은 3.3대 1을 기록했다.

 

한편, 도내 유권자 표심이 어디로 향했는지는 개표가 마무리돼야 판세를 정확하게 분석할 수 있겠지만, 사실상 전통적인 텃밭이라는 특성과 정권심판론에 무게가 쏠려 '더불어민주당 공천 = 당선'이라는 등식이 또다시 재현돼 지상파 방송 3사 출구 조사에서 10석 모두 생존할 것으로 예측됐다.

 

다만, 더불어민주당 이성윤 후보와 국민의힘 정운천 후보ㆍ진보당 강성희(현역 지역구 의원) 후보 등 3인이 지난 12일간 열전을 펼친 '전북 정치 1번지로 불리는 전주을' 선거구의 경우, 출구 조사가 반영되지 않은 사전투표와 지지층 결집 및 자신의 정치 성향을 드러내지 않은 중도층 내지는 부동층을 얼마나 흡수했느냐에 따라, 당락은 얼마든지 달라질 수 있다는 분석이 나오고 있다.

 

'진보와 보수ㆍ영남과 호남'으로 명확하게 구분된 방송사 출구 조사에 변수가 많지만, 전북은 박빙 선거구가 없는 만큼, 10개 선거구 가운데 민심의 향배로 승기를 잡은 더불어민주당 어느 후보가 가장 높은 득표율을 기록할지ㆍ국민의힘은 '마의 20%' 문턱을 넘어설 수 있을지가 관심사다.

 

또, 이번 투표에서 '조국혁신당'과 민주당 위성 정당인 '더불어민주연합' 가운데 도내 민심은 과연 어디로 향했을지도 관전 포인트로 등극했다.

 

당선 유력은 오후 10시~11시께 윤곽이 나올 수 있다.

 

정확한 결과는 이번 총선부터 개표 과정에 투표용지를 일일이 손으로 확인하는 수(手)검표 절차가 새로 도입돼 지역구는 개표율이 70∼80% 정도가 될 것으로 예상되는 10일 자정 또는 11일 오전 2시ㆍ비례대표는 각 당 득표수에 따른 의석수 배분까지 고려하면 11일 오전 6시께 승ㆍ패를 알 수 있을 것으로 전망된다.

22nd general election 'Jeonbuk voter turnout' provisional 67.4%

13 days of heated battle, coming to an end… Democratic Party predicted to survive in all 10 seats

 

Reporter Kim Hyun-jongㆍPark Dong-ilㆍKim Jong-jin

 

The voter turnout in Jeonbuk Autonomous Province in the 22nd general election was provisionally calculated to be 67.4%.

 

According to the National Election Commission's election statistics system, 433,052 people in Jeonbuk completed voting in the main vote held from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the 10th, and 1,022,602 out of 1,517,738 total voters (postal/local dictionary) (including voting) exercised their right to vote, reaching an all-time high of 67.4% in 32 years.

 

This figure is 0.4%p higher than the 67% in the 21st general election, and the national average was 66.7%, which was 0.5%p higher than the voter turnout rate in the 21st general election of 66.2%.

 

The voter turnout in the Jeonbuk region was 0.7%p higher than the national average of 66.7%, but did not exceed 70%, which could have set the 'highest record in the 21st century', because voters who revealed their political inclinations due to antipathy toward one-party dominance did not go to the polls. It is analyzed that this is because it was not done.

 

Looking at the 15 regions in the province, Jangsu-gun had the highest rate at 74.%.

 

Next, Sunchang 73.3%, Jinan 73.1%, Imsil 72.07%, Muju 71.3%, Namwon-si 70.6%, Gochang 70.5%, Buan 68.8%, Gimje 68.2%, Jeonju Deokjin 68.2%, Wanju 67.8%, Jeongeup 67.6%. ㆍJeonju Wansan 67.2 %, Iksan 65.7%, Gunsan 63.3%, etc.

 

Voter turnout for the general election in the Jeonbuk region was recorded at 47.5% for 18s, 53.6% for 19s, 62.9% for 20s, and 67% for 21s.

 

The final voter turnout will be announced on the morning of the 11th when the nationwide vote count is completed.

 

The nationwide provisional voter turnout was 66.7%, with Sejong having the highest at 70.2%.

 

By region, the tentative figures were as follows: Jeonnam 69%, Gwangju 68.2%, Jeonbuk 67.4%, Daejeon 66.3%, Gyeongbuk 65.1%, Incheon 64.7%, South Chungcheong 65%, Daegu 62.9%, and Jeju 62.2%.

The final voter turnout will be announced on the morning of the 11th when the nationwide vote count is completed.

By region, the tentative figures were as follows: Jeonnam 69%, Gwangju 68.2%, Jeonbuk 67.4%, Daejeon 66.3%, Gyeongbuk 65.1%, Incheon 64.7%, South Chungcheong 65%, Daegu 62.9%, and Jeju 62.2%.

 

The counting of votes is being carried out simultaneously at 254 counting centers across the country(15 in Jeollabuk-do) from 6:30 p.m., when the transfer of ballot boxes was completed.

 

The number of National Assembly members elected through this election is 300, including 254 constituency members and 46 proportional representatives, in accordance with the Public Official Election Act. The term of office for the 300 members elected through the 'one person, two votes system' is from May 30, 2024 to May 29, 2028. .

 

Due to the constituency adjustment, the number of constituency members increased by one compared to the 21st general election, and the number of proportional representatives decreased by one.

 

The People Power Party registered candidates in all 10 constituencies in the province, forming a head-to-head match between the ruling and opposition parties for the first time in 16 years. A total of 33 candidates, including minor political parties and independent candidates, submitted their candidacy votes, recording an average competition rate of 3.3 to 1.

 

Meanwhile, it will be possible to accurately analyze the direction of voters in the province only after the vote count is completed, but in fact, due to the traditional nature of the garden and the theory of judging the regime, the equation 'Nomination of the Democratic Party of Korea = election' has been reproduced again and broadcast on terrestrial broadcasters. Exit polls from the three companies predicted that all 10 seats would survive.

 

However, in the case of the Jeonju-eul constituency, known as the No. 1 political district in Jeonbuk, where three candidates, including Democratic Party candidate Lee Seong-yoon, People Power Party candidate Jeong Un-cheon, and Progressive Party candidate Kang Seong-hee(active constituency member), competed for the past 12 days, the exit poll was not reflected. There is analysis that the outcome of the election may vary depending on early voting, mobilization of supporters, and the extent to which the moderate or vacillating groups who do not reveal their political inclinations are absorbed.

 

There are many variables in the exit polls of broadcasting companies, which are clearly divided into 'progressives and conservatives, Yeongnam and Honam', but since Jeonbuk does not have a closely contested constituency, which candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, who won due to public sentiment among the 10 constituencies, received the highest vote rate. The concern is whether it will be recorded and whether the People Power Party will be able to overcome the ‘20% of the devil’ threshold.

 

In addition, in this vote, the question of where the public sentiment in the province was heading between the 'Homeland Innovation Party' and the Democratic Party's satellite party, the Democratic Alliance for Democracy, became a point to watch.

 

The winning candidate may be outlined around 10 to 11 pm.

 

The accurate results will be announced at midnight on the 10th or 2:00 a.m. on the 11th, when a new manual counting procedure has been introduced to check each ballot by hand during the vote counting process starting from this general election, and the vote counting rate in local districts is expected to be around 70-80%.ㆍFor proportional representation, considering the distribution of seats according to the number of votes for each party, it is expected that the winner or loser will be known around 6 am on the 11th.
