	The Korea Times : Elections in North and South (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Meanwhile, the Republic of Korea came into being after separate elections that were held in the South under the auspices of the United Nations (then fully controlled by Washington as the USSR had temporarily walked out over the issue of who had the right to represent China).
		These ``clandestine elections’’ were presented as a ``two-stage ballot.’’ First, each South Korean region allegedly elected representatives who would then meet in the city of Haeju in the North to elect the 360 members who would represent the southern provinces in the DPRK Supreme People’s Assembly.
		The turnout of North Korean voters is notorious for nearing 100 percent.

		North Korea is widely considered a Communist state in the Western world, but the government has formally replaced references to Marxism-Leninism in its constitution with the locally developed concept of Juche, or self-reliance.

	U.S. May Shift Strategy on North Korea - Council on Foreign Relations
		Instead of insisting that North Korea completely and verifiably disarm and renounce nuclear weapons before agreeing to negotiations, as they have in the past, U.S. officials now say they could consider negotiating a formal peace treaty with Pyongyang—to replace the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War—while talks continue on the nuclear program.
		In September 2005, the participants in the six-party talks—China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, the United States, and Russia—signed a provisional agreement that committed Pyongyang to giving up its nuclear program in return for international assistance.
		Experts who have worked with the Pyongyang government say North Korean negotiators are very focused on achieving their goals, and do so in a dogged and ultimately effective manner.

		All registered voters in South Korea will cast two ballots on Thursday: one for the party representative for their riding, or district; the second for one of 13 parties that are running nationwide.
		In theory, a voter from North Kyongsang province, for example, could vote for the local representative of the GNP as in the past, concerned primarily with who will best represent his or her region's particular interests.
