The joint investigation team of prosecutors and police, currently probing the ballot shortage incident during the June 3 local elections, is conducting additional questioning of on-site staff who were working at the polling stations at the time, as of today (June 19).
The joint investigation team has summoned two individuals—a voting administrator and a poll worker—who were on duty at a polling station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where the ballot shortage controversy occurred, to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office for questioning 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.
Previously, the joint investigation team questioned two individuals, including a voting administrator who worked at the No. 2 polling station in Jamsil 7-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, as witnesses on the 16th, and questioned nine poll workers from three other polling stations as witnesses yesterday.
