According to the Korean Central News Agency, the turnout in the elections was 99.99% of the total number of voters. 0.0037% of citizens who were outside the country did not participate in the vote, another 0.00003% abstained.
KCNA notes that 99.93% of voters supported the ruling party, while 0.07% voted against.
The new parliament includes Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who previously stated that joint military exercises would have "incredibly dire consequences" for the United States and South Korea.
