Parliamentary elections were held in North Korea on 26 July 1998.[1] 687 deputies were elected to the tenth Supreme People's Assembly. There was only one nominated candidate per constituency - 687 candidates for 687 seats. According to the state news agency KCNA, the turnout rate was 99.85%, and 100% of participating voters cast their ballots in favour of the registered candidates.[2] About two thirds of the deputies were new, and deputies with a military background reportedly doubled in number.[3] Kim Jong-il was unanimously elected in constituency n°666.[4] According to a Rodong Sinmun editorial, this proved "how deep the Korean people's trust in Kim Jong Il is and how powerful and solid the monolithic unity of the people around him in one thought and purpose and with moral obligation is."[5]
The election was three years overdue, the latest election having been in 1990. The planned 1995 elections were cancelled due to a period of mourning instituted after the death of Kim Il-sung. In its first session on 5 September 1998, the newly elected parliament amended laws to reflect the succession of Kim Jong-il.[6]
