Special counsel asks to preserve Olympic Park ballots

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage has asked the National Election Commission to keep intact the 420 ballot boxes that drew no objections during its inspection at the Olympic Park handball arena, saying it may need to examine them further. The request, made on October 30, covers ballots moved out of the arena, with the team noting that ballots subject to objections will undergo additional review. Yonhap and other outlets report the special counsel, led by Lee Tae-han, completed a 12-hour on-site verification of about 2.47 million ballots on October 28 before moving them to storage.
