Disclosure of Meeting

Meetings of the National Assembly shall be open to the public.
Being open to the public shall include freedom of observation and reporting, public announcement of meeting minutes, etc.

Continuation of Session

Bills and other matters submitted to the National Assembly shall not be abandoned on grounds that they were not acted upon during the session in which they were introduced. However, this rule shall not be applied when the term of the member who submitted the bill(s) expires.
Each session of the National Assembly shall not be regarded as a separate entity; rather, the sessions are considered a continuous session as long as the members are in office.

Not Deliberating the Same Bill Twice during Same Session

A bill that is rejected shall not be proposed or reintroduced during the same session.
This is in place to prevent a filibuster or disturbance during the meeting, especially one caused by the minority.

Voting

Upon the Speaker's announcement that a vote be taken, members shall express whether they are in favor of or against the matter by voting, and the votes shall be counted.

Voting Method

Electronic Voting
The most common type of voting in the National Assembly uses the electronic voting machine system. Ayes and nays shall be decided by the electronically recorded votes. In extraordinary circumstances, such as mechanical failure of voting equipment, the ayes and nays may be decided by standing votes.
※ If the plenary session is to decide on a matter of importance, such as a proposal of the Speaker or a motion by a member, or upon the request of at least one-fifth of all members, it shall be put to an open, roll-call, or secret vote.
Voting to decide whether members have any objection to a matter
When the Speaker asks members whether they have an objection to a matter, and they deem that no objection exists, the Speaker may declare the matter to be adopted. If there is any objection, a vote shall be taken.
Stand-up Voting
In this type of voting, the members in favor of a matter are required to stand up and be counted, after which others who oppose the matter stand to be counted.
Open Voting
In casting an open vote, the members shall indicate, on a ballot paper, their names and whether they are in favor of or against a matter (such as an amendment to the Constitution).
Secret Voting
When a secret vote is taken, the members shall only indicate whether they are in favor of or against a matter, without furnishing their names (A secret vote is used in the following National Assembly votes: bills returned to the National Assembly by the President; bills regarding personnel affairs; bills recommending the dismissal of the Prime Minister or a member of the State Council; and propositions of impeachment, prosecution of the Prime Minister, etc.).
