Poor management at polling stations and potential security vulnerabilities in the early voting system raises serious concerns about election integrity.

The rushed nature of this snap election could compromise the democratic process.
There's a 7.5% chance that North Korea and South Korea will be recognized as a unified sovereign state by 2045, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
