About elections in North Korea
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the North Korea hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the North Korea election I cover, with the official result, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and, where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, an interactive map you can explore region by region.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), commonly known as North Korea, is a totalitarian one-party state governed exclusively by the Korean Workers' Party (WPK) under the Supreme Leadership of Kim Jong-un, who took power in 2011 after the death of his father Kim Jong-il. The 687-seat Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) is formally elected every five years from single-candidate constituencies; all candidates are pre-approved by the Korean Democratic Front, a WPK umbrella organisation. Voter turnout is reported at 99.99% and approvals at near-unanimity. The SPA meets twice annually to ratify legislation and budget; all real political authority rests with the WPK and the Supreme Leader. North Korea operates a state ideology called Juche (self-reliance), supplemented by Songun (military-first policy). The country has pursued nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes despite UN sanctions, conducting six nuclear tests (2006-2017) and continuing missile tests. North Korea's economy is severely isolated under multilateral sanctions; the population faces chronic food shortages, and international humanitarian access is extremely limited. North Korea has no free press, no independent judiciary, and no civil society. International observers have no access to elections. Defectors and satellite imagery are the primary sources of independent information about conditions inside the country. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) is the state's sole official media outlet.
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for North Korea — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.

Where the electoral authority publishes an official regional breakdown, the North Korea election page includes an interactive map — click a region to see how each party or candidate performed there. Where no official per-region data exists, the page shows the certified national result and says so.
