A special counsel team is conducting an on-site inspection of ballots from the June 3 local elections at the Olympic Park handball arena in Seoul, which was used as a vote counting center. The inspection, launched on Wednesday, Oct. 28, covers 2.47 million ballots and surveillance footage, and has been ongoing for over seven hours, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The probe follows an unprecedented shortage of ballots during the elections, with ballots from Seoul's Songpa Ward stored at the gymnasium as protesters blocked their removal. The inspection was temporarily halted after some observers objected to a ban on taking recordings, KBS World reports. Ruling and opposition lawmakers have visited the site urging a thorough review, and Hankyoreh notes the inspection began at the venue. Korean media, including Yonhap and KBS, report that all ballot boxes have been fully removed from the arena after the inspection, with the Korea Economic Daily noting they were moved to another location 148 days later.
