Ballot Inspection at Seoul Arena Passes 7 Hours

A special counsel team has been inspecting ballots from the June 3 local elections at the Olympic Park handball arena in Seoul's Songpa District, with the process ongoing for about seven hours as of Wednesday afternoon. Yonhap reports the inspection began around 11:49 a.m., with verification staff moving sealed ballot boxes into the venue and distributing them across about 40 tables, each using four ballot counters, alongside election commission staff and observers. The probe follows an unprecedented ballot shortage during the June elections, and the team is also checking for hacking of voting and counting equipment, according to Dong-A Ilbo. Ruling and opposition lawmakers have visited the site urging a thorough review, KBS World reports.
