Ballots Moved After 12-Hour Verification at Seoul Arena

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage completed a 12-hour on-site inspection of roughly 2.47 million ballots on Thursday and then moved the boxes out of the Seoul handball arena where they had been stored, according to KBS World and Yonhap. The ballots, including those from Seoul's Songpa Ward, had been kept at the gymnasium, which served as a vote counting center, with protesters blocking their removal amid calls for accountability and a rerun. Lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties visited the inspection site and urged a thorough review, KBS World reports.
