Busan Metropolitan City Opens Online Public Vote to Select Outstanding Proactive Administration Cases

내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will conduct an “Online Public Vote for Outstanding Proactive Administration Cases” from today, September 16, through September 22, with citizens participating directly in the selection of Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration for the first half of 2026.

To foster a public-service culture that embraces challenges by strengthening rewards and support for performance, the City selects Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration in the first and second halves of each year. The recognition is given to public officials who achieve tangible results for citizens through proactive work grounded in creativity and professional expertise.

Public officials selected for the distinction receive a certificate and monetary award, along with significant personnel incentives such as a special salary-grade advancement, the highest performance bonus rating, and additional performance points.

This online vote covers 20 proactive administration cases that produced results during the first half of 2026 and passed the first-round evaluation. The voting results will account for up to 10 points in the final evaluation for selecting Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration.

The City plans to make the final selections in October by combining scores from the first-round evaluation, worth 10 points; the second-round online public vote, worth 10 points; and the third-round review by the Proactive Administration Committee, worth 80 points.

Citizens wishing to participate in the selection process may cast their votes during the voting period through the survey on the Busan Metropolitan City website at https://www.busan.go.kr/minwon/survey. Participants are asked to select 10 out of the 20 proactive administration cases.

By enabling citizens, as the beneficiaries of public policy, to participate directly in selecting outstanding proactive administration cases, the City expects to identify exemplary cases that citizens can readily appreciate and provide an opportunity for citizens and public officials to jointly promote the value of proactive administration.

Yoon Jung-no, Planning Officer of Busan Metropolitan City, said, “For Busan, the maritime capital, to make a new leap forward and improve the lives of its citizens, it is important to foster a public-service culture that does not fear change and innovation.” He added, “Through proactive administration that listens closely to voices from the field, we will continue to deliver tangible results that citizens can experience.”
