Notes:

1. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was a government in exile based in Shanghai, China. Although the current South Korean constitution recognises its de jure sovereignty over the Korean people, the provisional government was not recognized by many international powers.
2. The results of the 1960 election were invalidated after the April Revolution.
3. The office of Vice President was abolished after 1960.
