The goal is for these representatives to play a key role in setting the direction and managing the Social Security Fund’s future. The SSO revealed that over 550,000 people have eagerly registered so far. The SSO Secretary-General reminded that less than a month remains, with registration closing on 15 July, urging, "Don’t let your rights slip away."
A reporter covering the Social Security Board election registration progress from the Social Security Office found that the number of registered voters has risen sharply to 559,842, reflecting strong awareness among fund members. This includes 557,074 insured persons and 2,768 employers. Those elected will represent and safeguard the interests of Social Security Fund members nationwide.
