대통령선거제도의 연혁적 변천과 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

Depending on whether it is a presidential system or a parliamentary system, there may be differences in the electoral system. However, it is clear that the ultimate purpose of elections is the realization of democracy.
 Therefore, democracy can be said to depend on the electoral system, and the election of public officials based on the correct electoral system is very important.
 Among these public office elections, the presidential election in particular is more important than other elections.
 For this reason, this study, which examines the historical change process of the presidential election system and the peculiarities of the times, is very meaningful.
 As a result, the early presidential system was changed to a parliamentary system of government, and then the parliamentary system of government was changed to a presidential system. In addition, the presidential system also repeated the indirect and direct election systems.
 For this reason, the will of the person in power played an important role, which can be seen as a violation of democracy.
 In the process of changing the presidential election system several times, the age of those who can vote has been reduced from 21 to 18, political conflict between regions has increased, and the election day has been set on Wednesday. And the election deposit was reduced from 500 million won to 300 million won.
 I hope that moreresearch on the electoral system will lead to more democratic elections.
