This articles explores the socio-economic backgrounds, issue positions and strategic logic of split voters in the 20th National Assembly elections, using the KPSANational Election Commission’s post-election survey data. First, this analysis reveals that younger voters are more likely to have their votes split between district votes and party list votes, while supporting extant studies findings. Also it was founded that higher education and liberal leaning of voters were also associated with high probability of split voting. Second, this paper analyzed that voters with stronger interest in politics and with higher dissatisfaction with Korean democracy are more likely to have split voting. Third, there is a notable consistency in the logic of voters’ split voting. As they have done in previous elections, voters who have identity with minor parties, tended to use split voting to preserve their party preferences. Also, it was also revealed that when voters have split voting, they were concenred with prospects of coalition-formation among parties.
