After the election campaign, the vote counting for the President and Vice president of the 2011 GSC and the FSC was held at Yongbong Hall on November 29th. It was the second vote counting for the 2011 GSC because the first vote counting on November 25th was interrupted by the Central Elections Commission (CEC) on November 26th.
