He must be disappointed that they couldn't make any progress from the 2009 result.

we should take note of North Korean democracy and how their people participate in elections. We should line everyone up at gunpoint and force them to vote.

Even the dead, presumably. Does nobody die between registration and voting, even on election day?

Presumably they delay their death by strength of will in order to display their love for the Leader?

Exit Polls show a big swing to Mr Kim!

They need a dubious barchart reading "Only the Worker's Party of Korea can win here!"  (delivered by your local Juche Focus Team)

This is a two horse race. Only your popular, hard working, local Juche candidate, Comdrade Kim Jong-un can defeat the imperialist, capitalist, running dogs from America. Comrade Kim Jong-un works hard all year round not just at election time

It's the person who guaranteed a 101% turnout that I feel sorry for. He's really in trouble now ....

I notice we're still waiting for the other 686 constituencies to declare. Maybe they are having recounts?

Apparently some blokes in Sunderland keep trying to beat them to it.

I tell you what, though, having a "Mount... X" constituency here wouldn't go amiss....

The rest of the results are in

Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland (including the Workers Party of Korea) 100.00%

Turnout 99.97%

This is actually a fall in turnout from 2009 when the turnout was 99.98%

We do have a few wards:
Mount Sandel in Coleraine
Mount Charles; Mount Hawke & Portreath (Cornwall)
Sutton & Mount Gould (Plymouth)
Fenton West & Mount Pleasant (Stoke-on-Trent)
Stratford Mount Pleasent (Stratford-on-Avon)

[AdminSTB]

Glasgow had Mount Vernon and Mount Florida wards prior to the 2007 reorganisation.

The non-voters are probably dead or will soon be wishing that they were dead.

Perhaps someone preferred to die rather than vote for the Dear Leader.

How can you think such a thing! Well here is the official report on the North Korean news agency KCNA that gives the true explanation

Report of Central Election Committee on Results on Election of Deputies to 13th SPA
Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- The election of the deputies to the 13th Supreme People's Assembly took place successfully in the DPRK

The Central Election Committee Tuesday reported the results on the election held on Sunday.

According to the report, the election was held according to the Rules on the Elections of Deputies to the People's Assemblies at All Levels.

According to the election returns available, 99.97 percent of all the voters registered on the lists of voters across the country took part in the election and 100 percent of them voted for the candidates for deputies to the SPA registered in the relevant constituencies.

This is an expression of the absolute support and trust of all voters in the DPRK government, the genuine people's power which serves the people and relies on them, and a manifestation of the steadfast will of the service personnel and people to consolidate the people's power as firm as a rock and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche.

Electors on foreign tours or working in oceans could not take part in the election.

The Central Election Committee deliberated the reports on the election returns submitted by constituency election committees across the country and reported the names of 686 elected deputies to the SPA.

Notice this part

Electors on foreign tours or working in oceans could not take part in the election.

You see its not just the UK. North Korea also is suffering from falling turnout as a result of people not being able to get to the polls. Clearly they ned to introduce postal voting on demand

[Devil Wincarnate]

I wonder if working in oceans is a euphemism for being forcibly drowned by the "returning officer".
