Ballot verification at Olympic Park ends after 12 hours
The special counsel team led by Lee Tae-han completed its public inspection of about 2.47 million ballot papers stored at the Olympic Park handball arena in Seoul, ending early on October 29 after more than 12 hours, Yonhap reports. The inspection, which began on October 28, 147 days after the June 3 local elections, covered ballots from Seoul's Songpa Ward and on-site CCTV footage. Yonhap quotes the special counsel as saying "a considerable number require additional analysis." The Korea Times notes the gymnasium had been used as a vote counting center, with protesters blocking removal of the ballots amid calls for accountability and a rerun. KBS World reports the inspection was briefly halted after some observers objected to a ban on recording.
