Ballot Inspection Ongoing as Removal Blocked

The special counsel's inspection of ballots from the June 3 local elections at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium is still underway, with the Korea Times reporting it has been ongoing for seven hours. The gymnasium, used as a vote counting center, houses ballots from Seoul's southeastern Songpa Ward, and protesters have blocked their removal amid calls for accountability and a rerun. Yonhap and KBS World report the special counsel team launched the inspection on Wednesday, with KBS World noting about 2.47 million ballots are to be examined. Lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties have visited the site, urging a thorough review.
