His constituency is Mount Paektu, the holy mountain on the Chinese border where his father, according to legend, was born.
But voters will not have any choice; Kim’s name will be the only one on the ballot.

It is possible to vote no, for anyone brave enough to walk to a special booth and cross out the name on the ballot.
