The 8th local elections were held in South Korea on 1 June 2022. These elections came after the presidential election in March 2022, and coincided with the by-elections for the vacant seats in the National Assembly. It was the first nationwide election under President Yoon Suk Yeol after taking office on 10 May.
President Yoon Suk Yeol's party, the People Power Party, decisively won the local elections. The 50.9% turnout is the lowest since 2002.
