As campaigns for the May 31 local elections move into high gear, the governing and opposition parties are seeking ways to make the best of online campaigns to reach young voters.
Beginning May 18, the parties will begin online and offline election campaigns. Under the revised Election law passed last year, parties can advertise their candidates or election pledges on Internet portal sites.
The governing party decided last week to launch online advertising for the party's 16 mayoral, gubernatorial hopefuls on popular portal sites, such as 'Naver' and 'Daum.'"
