Ballot inspection at Olympic Park draws police deployment

South Korean special counsel investigators are set to inspect about 2.47 million ballots stored at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in southern Seoul, part of a probe into an unprecedented shortage of ballot papers during the June 3 local elections. The team, led by special counsel Lee, has already searched the venue that served as a ballot-counting center, and 48 riot police units will be deployed to maintain order during the inspection, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and KBS World. The inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, with Yonhap and Korea Times reporting the move as part of the ongoing investigation.
