Joint Investigation Team Summons Two More Election Officials to Reconstruct Ballot Shortage Incident

The joint investigation team of prosecutors and police, currently investigating the ballot shortage incident during the June 3 local elections, is questioning additional field staff who were on duty at the time today (June 19).

The joint investigation team has summoned two individuals, including a ballot management officer and a poll worker who were stationed at a polling station in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul—where the ballot shortage controversy occurred—to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office as witnesses.

The team is questioning them to reconstruct the situation regarding the ballot shortage on election day, while also verifying their actions, preparations, and response methods.

The joint investigation team plans to summon a poll worker from a polling station in Gaepo 2-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for questioning as a witness tomorrow (June 20).

Previously, the joint investigation team questioned two individuals, including a ballot management officer who worked at the second polling station in Jamsil 7-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, on June 16, and questioned nine poll workers from three other polling stations as witnesses yesterday (June 18).

The joint investigation team is accelerating its investigation of on-site personnel to reconstruct the events of that day, while also focusing on analyzing evidence secured through previous search and seizure operations.
