Acting President Han Duck-soo is expected to announce the date for the next presidential election on Tuesday.

According to officials contacted by KBS on Friday, Han is considering making the announcement during next week’s Cabinet meeting.

The election is likely to be held on June 3, a full 60 days after the Constitutional Court removed former President Yoon Suk Yeol from office.

Under the Public Official Election Act, a new president must be elected within 60 days of a president’s removal.

Officials say choosing a later date would give political parties more time to campaign. 

When former President Park Geun-hye was ousted on March 10, 2017, the nation held a presidential election exactly 60 days later, on May 9.
