Example of Dictatorship

1. Example of Dictatorship Census=Count/Tally • Pyongyang, North Korea • Kim wins: Every single eligible voter in North Korea turned out to vote in favor of the state’s slate of deputies, North Korean media reported this week. Candidates picked by dictator Kim Jong Un received 100 percent of the vote with 100 percent turnout. Voting is mandatory every five years, and there is only one option on the ballot: yes to all the names listed. Any voter who wishes to vote against a particular candidate must cross out the name and take the ballot across the room to a special booth, but nobody does that. The election serves as a census, “If your name is not on the list, they will investigate it,” defector Mina Yoon told The Daily Telegraph (U.K.). “It is often during elections that the government finds out about defectors and people who have been missed.”
