NEC Special Counsel Team Raids National and Local Election Commissions in 9 Locations, Commencing Compulsory Investigation

The special counsel team led by Lee Tae-han, tasked with investigating the ballot paper shortage incident during the June 3 local elections, has launched full-scale compulsory investigations 10 days after its official launch.

This morning, the special counsel team dispatched prosecutors and investigators to a total of nine locations, including the National Election Commission and local election commissions, to conduct raids.

This marks the first time the special counsel team has conducted a seizure and search operation since its official launch on September 7, and investigators are securing materials such as internal servers from the election commission offices.

The special counsel team is investigating 12 allegations, which include the local election ballot paper shortage, manipulation of voter turnout statistics, lavish overseas business trips by election commission officials, preferential hiring and promotions, and preferential private contracts and collusion with businesses.
