Special counsel investigators finished verifying about 2.47 million ballots from the June 3 local elections, stored at a Seoul handball arena, after a 12-hour on-site inspection, Yonhap and KBS World report. The count wrapped up on Oct. 29, 147 days after the election, with about 700 ballots flagged as abnormal and subject to further verification, according to the Korea Economic Daily. The inspection came after protesters blocked removal of ballots from Songpa Ward, demanding accountability and a rerun, the Korea Times notes. Korean media frame the move as a step in the probe into the unprecedented ballot shortage, with the special counsel team now moving the ballots to storage.
