North Korea has finally revealed details about changes to its national election law, months after a party meeting first suggested changes to the way local and national elections are held. 

The Minju Choson newspaper released a multi-part explanation on the revised election law last week, offering the first glimpse at the reforms approved on Aug. 30. 

It reveals that certain districts now require a primary-like competition between exactly two people, rather than a single party-cleared individual. The two people are at least on paper supposed to reflect diversity in geographic representation, profession and even gender. [/p
