Ballot inspection ends after 12 hours

The special counsel's on-site inspection of 2.47 million ballots stored at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium, tied to the June 3 local elections' ballot shortage, ended after about 12 hours, Yonhap reports. The inspection covered ballots and surveillance footage, with the gymnasium having served as a vote counting center for Seoul's southeastern Songpa Ward; protesters had blocked ballot removal amid calls for accountability and a rerun. KBS World notes the probe targets the unprecedented ballot shortage.
