History

edit

Sejong A was created ahead of the 2020 South Korean legislative election from the former Sejong constituency as a result of an increase in the area's voter population.[1][2]

Sejong A is generally viewed as a Democratic Party stronghold as the area consistently voted for the candidates affiliated with the Democratic Party in previous elections.[3]
