Election Officials from Afghanistan and Bangladesh Learn About Korean Elections

The Korean Civic Education Institute for Democracy (KOCEI) carried out overseas election official training focused on the Korean election system for officials from Afghanistan and Bangladesh from August 23 to 31. 

Afghanistan and Bangladesh election officials that participated had an opportunity to experience first-hand the voting and counting processes and to share knowledge about election systems by participating in training utilizing the voting and counting equipment used in Korea.
