Help Name Suwon's Innovative Integrated Civil Affairs Office

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon announced on the 25th that it will conduct an online citizen vote from January 26 to February 10 on four finalist candidates selected through a naming contest for the 'Innovative Integrated Civil Affairs Office (tentative name)'.

After holding a naming contest for the Innovative Integrated Civil Affairs Office in December, Suwon selected four finalists—'Saebbit Maru', 'Saebbit Communication Office', 'Saebbit Civil Affairs Office', and 'Open Civil Affairs Office'—through a first round of screening.

Any Suwon citizen can participate in the online vote by visiting the Suwon Citizens Square homepage (www.suwon.go.kr/web/manmin/BD_index.do) and clicking on their preferred name in the 'Voting' bulletin board.

The Innovative Integrated Civil Affairs Office, which Suwon plans to operate from March, will be staffed with veteran civil servants with more than 20 years of experience to handle citizens' civil affairs requests. While staff communicate with related departments and process petitions, visitors will be able to rest in a lounge area provided in the civil affairs office. An indoor garden serving as a rest area for citizens is scheduled to open from June.

The top-ranked entry will receive an Onnuri gift certificate worth 200,000 won, and two excellent entries will each receive an Onnuri gift certificate worth 50,000 won. The winning entry will be announced on Suwon's website.

Meanwhile, the Innovative Integrated Civil Affairs Office aims to eliminate the inconvenience of citizens having to visit multiple departments and provide one-stop civil affairs service to quickly and accurately handle citizens' diverse and complex requests.
