Police Deploy 48 Riot Units for Ballot Inspection

On October 28, police will deploy 48 riot police units to maintain order during a special counsel team's public inspection of about 2.5 million ballots at the Olympic Park in Jamsil, part of the probe into ballot shortages in the June 3 local elections. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency also plans to station 150 dialogue police and 300 criminal and investigation personnel, vowing strict response to obstruction, as reported by Yonhap and other outlets. The special counsel, Lee Tae-han, leads the verification, with police stating they 'actively support' the investigation into suspected infringement of citizens' voting rights.
