Ask what Korea is talking about.

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local elections ballot shortage has raided the National Election Commission (NEC) headquarters and its Seoul office over allegations of preferential treatment in choosing a ballot printer maker and suspected tampering of official voting logs, Yonhap and Korea Times report. The team, led by special counsel Lee Tae-han, also raided the NEC over suspicions that commissioners were paid 905.8 million won ($677,000) in improper stipends, and previously raided the home of a former NEC chief over an alleged improper overseas trip. The raids are part of a broader probe into the ballot shortage and alleged irregularities at the election watchdog.
