I'm confused. In the article, it says:

"Turnout Sunday was 99.98 percent, with all voters backing the sole candidate running in their constituency, the official Korean Central News Agency reported."

But yet the title of the article is:

"Kim wins re-election with 99.9% of the vote"

99.98% of the people showed up... but 100% of them voted for Kim... but Kim won with only 99.9% of the vote? How does that work out?

Angila, it was poor choice of words by the reporter. If someone is absent, they don't get to vote, but their vote still counts in the total of possible votes.

It was unanimous. Someone didn't vote.
