Ballot Verification Ends After 12-Hour Standoff

The special counsel team's inspection of local election ballots stored at a Seoul stadium ended after about 12 hours, according to Yonhap. The inspection, which began Wednesday, was halted earlier after observers objected to a recording ban, but resumed and ultimately concluded with roughly 2.47 million ballots verified at Olympic Park. The Korea Times reports the ballots were from Seoul's southeastern Songpa Ward, with protesters blocking their removal amid calls for accountability and a rerun of the June 3 local elections.
