ABSTRACT
The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Korea since its establishment in 1988 has proactively reviewed the constitutionality of the various aspects of public election law of Korea, through the mechanisms of constitutional adjudication. Whereas the Constitutional Court has taken activist positions in areas such as electoral district reapportionment and the proportional representation system, the Court has taken relatively passive positions in reviewing the constitutionality of statutory provisions regulating election campaign activities.
