Opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung campaigning in a bullet-proof vest.
South Korea is still recovering from the martial law crisis last December , when the president tried to orchestrate a military takeover.
While stuck in limbo, the country has become more polarised and its politics more violent.
This election is an opportunity to steer South Korea back onto safer, more stable ground, and heal these fractures.
Lee is casting himself as a "pragmatist" who can adapt to a changing security environment.
This time, he is courting South Korea's powerful conglomerate businesses, the chaebols.
He has incorporated the conservative colour red into his own blue logo, and hits the campaign trail wearing red and blue trainers.
