South Korea held local elections on June 3 to elect leaders for 16 cities and provinces. The vote is widely seen as a midterm test for President Lee Jae-myung's first year in office and a gauge of whether the conservative People Power Party can recover from the fallout of former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law declaration. Polls show Lee scoring high on economic performance, but critics point to struggles with housing costs.
