Ballot boxes moved after June 3 ballot verification

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage completed verification of roughly 2.47 million ballots on Thursday after a 12-hour inspection, led by Lee Tae-han, according to KBS World. Following that, the team began moving boxes of ballot papers from the Seoul handball arena, where they had been stored since the elections, to a storage facility, as Yonhap and Korea Times report. The inspection had been launched Wednesday at the arena, which also houses ballots from Seoul's Songpa Ward, with 48 riot police units deployed to maintain order, per Korea Times. The work was briefly halted after some observers objected to a ban on taking recordings, KBS World notes.
