Are they required to hold the vote within the parliament building itself?

  They're apparently (according to BBC) inside the building now anyway and waiting for the speaker to arrive and call a vote. Also special forces are there and landed helicopters on the roof, intent unclear. Edit: vote complete, declaration of martial law is voted down. Now what?

    Impeachment? Is that a thing there?

      I'm more worried about the immediate matter of tanks on the streets. If the tanks politely go back where they came from, maybe parliament could consider tweaking the constitution to prevent blockading the assembly building next time. Edit: "The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation's parliament voting to block its enforcement". That's a bug. "the government must lift martial law" as a result of the vote, but the government is apparently the president?
