The joint investigation team of prosecutors and police, established to uncover the truth behind the ballot paper shortage, is summoning 9 individuals, including the ballot printer and officials from local election commissions, for questioning.
The joint investigation team is calling in the printer, who signed a ballot supply contract with the National Election Commission (NEC), as a witness today, July 7.
The team plans to question the printer regarding the process of signing the ballot supply contract with the NEC and the overall actual supply process.
The joint investigation team also plans to summon officials from the Songpa-gu and Gangnam-gu election commissions to determine how the ballots were prepared and how they responded on election day.
Officials from election commissions in Gwanak-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Gangseo-gu, Jungnang-gu, and Mapo-gu, where no ballot shortages occurred, have also been summoned as witnesses. The joint investigation team also called in a member of the Seocho-gu election commission as a witness today to understand the process behind the decision to set the lower limit for the number of printed ballots at 50 percent.
