Presidential elections occur every four months, typically through exhaustive ballot or two-round ballot, where a candidate must acquire 50%+1 of the votes in order to win. When an exhaustive ballot is used and no candidate wins the first round, candidates must typically receive a minimum amount of votes to proceed to the next round, or the candidate with the least votes is eliminated, unless one candidate has already won. In a two-round ballot, when no candidate wins the first round, all candidates are eliminated except the two candidates with the most votes. Candidacy is limited to citizens who are not affiliated with the DPRK. Elections are organised by [[community management]]. | Presidential elections occur every four months, typically through exhaustive ballot or two-round ballot, where a candidate must acquire 50%+1 of the votes in order to win.
