SEOUL, South Korea — South Koreans are heading to the polls on Tuesday to pick a new president, in an election widely seen as a referendum on President Yoon Suk Yeol and the governing conservative party.

Polls will open across the country at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning (5 p.m. ET on Monday). Candidate Lee Jae-myung of the main opposition Democratic Party is expected to win. He has mostly kept a double-digit lead in polls over his conservative rival, Kim Moon-soo, throughout the race.

But whoever is elected, the new president will have little time for celebration.

The election comes nearly two months after President Yoon was removed from office after his impeachment for declaring martial law in the country. The intense confrontation both in the South Korean Parliament and among the public over Yoon’s fateful act has aggravated the country’s political polarization and shaken South Koreans’ confidence in their democracy.
