Special Counsel Raids Olympic Park Handball Arena in Ballot Probe

On October 27, special counsel Lee Tae-han's team raided the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in southern Seoul, which served as a vote counting center during the June 3 local elections, as part of an investigation into an unprecedented ballot shortage. The team seized election documents and CCTV footage, according to Yonhap, Korea Times, and Chosun Ilbo. The raid came ahead of a planned inspection of about 2.47 million ballots stored at the venue, which KBS World reported would occur on October 28. The probe follows the ballot shortage that disrupted the local elections, with the special counsel examining the counting center's records and surveillance.
