The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortages has asked the National Election Commission to keep intact the 420 ballot boxes that drew no objections during its inspection at the Seoul Olympic Park handball arena, saying it may need to examine them further. The request came on Oct. 30, after the team completed a 12-hour on-site verification of roughly 2.47 million ballots on Oct. 28 and began moving boxes to storage on Oct. 29. Yonhap and the Korea Times report the team is also confirming the process of removing the inspected ballots and has requested they be preserved in their current state. Korean outlets such as Kyunghyang Shinmun note the special counsel is preparing for possible additional verification of the ballots.
