Gyeongsangnam-do Province is holding the "2026 Gyeongsangnam-do Regulatory Improvement Task Contest" to reform unreasonable regulations affecting residents' daily lives and the broader regional industry.

The contest invites residents to directly propose solutions to various inconveniences they experience in daily life or economic activities, as well as measures to address regulatory blind spots.

Residents wishing to participate can download the application form from the Gyeongsangnam-do website and submit it by email or postal mail by the 12th of next month.

The contest covers regulations related to residents' livelihoods, regional industries, and local ordinances, targeting unreasonable regulations across daily life and industrial sites. Non-regulatory matters, simple petitions or complaints, and proposals already adopted by other institutions are excluded.

For outstanding proposals, the province plans to pursue institutional improvements through consultations with provincial and municipal departments and to recommend them to relevant ministries to ensure they lead to substantive reforms.
