Kim Jong-un Secures 99.93% in North Korea’s 2026 Elections

North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly elections on March 15, 2026, delivered a predictable landslide for Kim Jong-un and his Workers’ Party coalition. State media reported 99.93% approval amid 99.99% turnout, claiming all 687 seats.

The Mysterious 0.07%

The tiny 0.07% dissent crossing out the sole candidate’s name in a monitored booth has ignited global memes and speculation. No identities are revealed, but analysts call it propaganda to feign democracy in a system without real choice.

North Korea last noted such “rejects” in 1957; prior polls hit 100% or omitted figures. Experts from South Korea’s Unification Ministry view this as a ploy to mimic legitimacy while retaining total control.

Election’s True Purpose

These polls function as a census and loyalty ritual, formalizing leadership and budgets. The new assembly will rubber-stamp Kim’s roles and constitutional tweaks, like the “two hostile nations” stance on South Korea.

Kim voted publicly in South Pyongan Province for a local manager, spotlighting economic priorities like coal production.
