Resident General Assemblies to Be Held in All 44 Wards of Suwon City

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-seong] Resident general assemblies, a ‘forum for public opinion among residents’ open to all residents, will be held in all wards of Suwon Special City.

The resident general assemblies, which began on June 26 in Songduk Ward (at the plaza in front of Manseok Park badminton stadium), will continue in all 44 wards through early August. For specific dates of general assemblies by ward, inquiries can be made to the respective wards.

The resident general assembly is a ‘forum for public opinion among residents’ where any resident can participate to propose and discuss neighborhood agendas such as next year's community autonomy plans. Any resident living in the ward or working at a business located in the ward can participate.

At the resident general assembly, reports on the performance of resident autonomy committees and operational results of resident autonomy centers are presented, and priorities are determined for the 2027 community autonomy plans, resident autonomy committee activation projects, and resident participation budget projects. Additionally, neighborhood issues, public recruitment projects, and consultation tasks are discussed.

To enable more residents to participate in the decision-making process, pre-voting is being conducted using various methods by ward, such as through Saebit Talk Talk, before on-site voting on the day of the general assembly. Community autonomy plans are finalized through on-site voting on the day of the assembly. The autonomy plans determined at the general assembly will be reviewed in detail for implementation and reflected in next year's business plans.
