Ballot Inspection Ongoing; Transfer Blocked by Sit-In

Korea is reporting that a special counsel team launched an on-site inspection of 2.47 million ballots from the June 3 local elections at a handball gymnasium in Seoul, with the process ongoing for over seven hours (Yonhap, KBS World). Lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties have visited the site urging a thorough review, while protesters have blocked the removal of ballots stored at a separate Seoul stadium, calling for accountability and a rerun (Korea Times, KBS World). The inspection is part of a probe into an unprecedented ballot shortage, and the sit-in is preventing transfer of the ballots (Korea Times).
