The Special Counsel Team for the National Election Commission (NEC) has conducted raids on 18 offices, including the Chairperson's Office and the Secretary-General's Office at the central NEC, as well as the residence of a former Secretary-General, in connection with allegations of improper allowance payments.

The special counsel team believes that the NEC paid a total of 905.8 million won starting from 2020 for the "fair election promotion activity allowance" provided monthly to the chairperson and non-standing commissioners, despite a warning from the Board of Audit and Inspection that there was no legal basis for the payments.
