Former head of the “June 3 Local Election Ballot Shortage Fact-Finding Committee,” Cho Hyun-wook, estimates that between 30 and 40 voters were unable to cast their ballots due to a lack of available paper in the recent local elections. Cho made this assessment following the committee’s investigation into the reported shortages. He indicated that the issue stemmed from miscalculations in ballot paper distribution, rather than intentional manipulation. The committee’s findings suggest that the number of affected voters, while significant, was smaller than initially claimed by some parties. Cho emphasized the need for improvements in election management to prevent similar occurrences in future elections. The investigation concluded that while irregularities occurred, there was no evidence of systematic attempts to disrupt the voting process. Further details regarding specific locations and contributing factors are expected to be released in a comprehensive report.
