48 Riot Squads to Guard Ballot Inspection

Police will deploy 48 riot squads and about 450 officers, including 150 dialogue officers and 300 criminal investigators, to maintain order during a special counsel team's public inspection of about 2.5 million ballots at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium on Wednesday, October 28. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said it supports the special counsel's probe into the June 3 local election ballot shortage and will respond sternly to any obstruction. Yonhap and KBS World report the deployment, while the Korea Times notes the inspection covers about 2.47 million ballots.
