Oh Se-hoon Calls for Vote Counting Halt Amid Ballot Shortages

Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor, stated on June 3 that vote counting should be halted until the ballot shortages in certain areas of the city are resolved.

In a statement, Oh emphasized, "No citizen's voting rights should be infringed upon," highlighting the importance of ensuring fair access to the electoral process.

He noted, "There are still areas where voting is ongoing. Some individuals have reportedly left without casting their votes," and urged the National Election Commission to take responsible measures to restore the voting rights of affected citizens.

According to the People Power Party's Seoul chapter, ballot shortages were reported at several polling stations, including those in Songpa-gu, such as Munjeong 2-dong No. 2, Jamsil 2-dong No. 6, and others in Gangnam-gu and Gwangjin-gu.

In response, the National Election Commission acknowledged the inconvenience caused to voters and expressed deep regret for undermining public trust in fair election management.
