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.

After months of political turmoil, South Korea will elect a new president Tuesday to succeed conservative Yoon Suk Yeol, who was ousted over his brief but shocking imposition of martial law.

Millions vote for a new president, after six months of turmoil sparked by a failed martial law attempt and the impeachment of former leader Yoon Suk Yeol.
