The People Power Party decides to implement a 'full member voting system' for major policy decisions

The People Power Party of South Korea has decided to introduce a system where all party members can vote on major policy decisions.

The People Power Party (PPP) of South Korea has announced the introduction of a 'full member voting system' for making significant policy decisions within the party. This decision was made by the party's floor leader, Choi Soo-jin, who indicated that this new approach aims to engage all members in the decision-making process rather than relying solely on the leadership. The proposed changes to the party's constitution and regulations are set to be deliberated and voted on by the party's central committees in upcoming meetings on the 11th and 12th of this month. In addition to the voting system, the PPP is also integrating new criteria for the nomination processes for candidates by assessing their contributions to the party. Such evaluations will influence candidate selections for local elections, with applications starting from the upcoming regional elections in June. This development indicates the party's shift towards more democratic processes and increased member participation, reflecting on the recommendations for member engagement. Furthermore, the PPP is taking steps to promote youth involvement and gender representation within its ranks by mandating that at least one female candidate and one youth candidate be nominated in each district for local elections. This new requirement aims to ensure that diverse voices are represented in political positions. Along with this, stricter qualifications for 'responsible members' who can run for office or party leader are being introduced, requiring a continuous party membership of six months, effective from July 1 after the local elections, highlighting a commitment to party integrity and member responsibility.
