The National Assembly will hold a plenary session this afternoon (June 18) to adopt a plan for a parliamentary investigation into the ballot shortage incident during the June 3 local elections.

During the plenary session, the assembly plans to confirm the appointments of members to the "Special Committee on Parliamentary Investigation for Truth-Finding Regarding Infringements on Voting Rights, Such as the Ballot Shortage Incident in the 9th Nationwide Simultaneous Local Elections, and for Election Management Reform," as well as the investigation plan itself.

The special committee consists of 18 members: 9 from the Democratic Party of Korea, 7 from the People Power Party, and 2 from minor parties. Representative Yoon Sang-hyun of the People Power Party has been designated as the committee chair.

Starting today, the committee will launch a 45-day investigation into the National Election Commission and its regional offices.

In addition to the parliamentary investigation plan, the plenary session is also expected to process approximately 30 non-controversial bills agreed upon by both ruling and opposition parties.
