The Korea Sports Council has taken decisive steps toward fair and transparent election management ahead of the "Third Directly Elected Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) Election" scheduled for December.

The Korea Sports Council announced that on the 7th, it conducted a "Specialized Training for the Metropolitan/Provincial Do Che-yuk (Chairman) Election Operations Committee" at the Osong Convention Center in Chungcheongbuk-do Province, attended by approximately 100 participants including officials from metropolitan and provincial sports councils and election management specialists.

According to the Korea Sports Council, Kim Dae-nyeon, Secretary-General of the Korea Sports Council, and Jeong Hae-o, President of the Incorporated Association Seon U (Chairman), among others, attended the event on that day. The Third Directly Elected Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) Election will be held sequentially on December 16 for metropolitan and provincial sports councils, and on December 23 for city, county, and district sports councils. Unlike general public office elections, the Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) Election requires a high level of understanding regarding the unique organizational structure of sports organizations, the composition of electors, and regulations governing presidential election management. Accordingly, the Sports Council arranged this training to enable veteran specialists from central and local election management commissions to develop expertise in sports sector elections and demonstrate their capabilities in actual field operations.

The training program was structured with a focus on practical application. Experts in various fields served as instructors, addressing core issues that can be immediately utilized in the field, including the outsourced management of Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) elections, the organizational structure of sports organizations and electoral districts, presidential election management regulations and guidelines, restricted and prohibited acts in sports council president elections, and response strategies for election disputes. The Sports Council plans to produce video content based on the training materials from that day and actively utilize them for future education of election-related personnel.

Institutional cooperation to strengthen election expertise has also taken its first step. Prior to this training, the Korea Sports Council signed a "Business Cooperation Agreement for Supporting Fair Elections in Sports Organizations" with the Incorporated Association Sunwoo-hoe. The two institutional investors agreed through the agreement to continue cooperation throughout the entire process, including education and training for election management specialists, support for the activities of local sports council Election Operations Committees, recommendation of candidates for Election Operations Committee members, support for voting and vote-counting management, and research, consultation, and result evaluation regarding electoral district improvements.

Kim Dae-nyeon, Secretary-General of the Korea Sports Council, stated, "If experts with extensive election management experience fully understand the structure of sports organizations and the outsourced election system, they can significantly enhance the fairness and stability of elections." He added, "I hope that based on the capabilities of these experts, this election will be conducted without any issues and serve as an opportunity to increase trust in the electoral process."

Yoo Seung-min, President of the Korea Sports Council, emphasized, "A fair and trustworthy election is the starting point for enhancing the autonomy and accountability of sports organizations." He added, "We will spare no effort in providing full support through a specialized Election Operations Committee to ensure that the Third Directly Elected Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) Election is trusted by all members of the sports community."

The Korea Sports Council plans to gradually expand its specialized training from this initial session for metropolitan and provincial sports councils to include city, county, and district sports councils in the future.
