The National Election Commission (Korean: 중앙선거관리위원회; Hanja: 中央選擧管理委員會; RR: Jungang Seongeo Gwalliwiwonhoe; NEC) is independent constitutional institution in South Korea, established to manage free and fair elections, national referendums and other administrative affairs concerning political parties and funds. The agency was established in accordance with Article 114 of the Constitution of South Korea. The NEC has equal status as highest constitutional institution as National Assembly, the Executive Ministries, the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court.[1] This highly independent status of NEC reflects national will to overcome past histories such as election rigging of South Korea in 1960.
