Special Counsel Begins Ballot Inspection at Olympic Park Arena

A special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage has launched an on-site inspection of ballots and surveillance footage at the handball arena in Olympic Park, Seoul. Yonhap reports the inspection began Wednesday, Oct. 28, and was still ongoing after seven hours, covering 2.47 million ballots. The work was temporarily halted after observers objected to a ban on recording, KBS World reports. Ruling and opposition lawmakers have visited the site urging a thorough review, and special prosecutor Lee T. is leading the probe.
