The Democratic Party, led by acting leader Han Byeong-do, announced plans to pursue a special investigation into the ongoing controversy surrounding the Election Commission's ballot shortage.
During a Supreme Council meeting on June 29, Han stated, "There are no sacred cows in the reform of the Election Commission. The infringement of voting rights is an unacceptable tragedy under any pretext." He emphasized that the party would push for a special investigation to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable, alongside institutional improvements.
Han also highlighted that the Democratic Party is actively conducting a swift national investigation and reform of the Election Commission in response to the situation.
He remarked, "The Democratic Party is accelerating the launch of a rapid national investigation and the reform of the Election Commission," adding that the reform task force has proposed fundamental changes, including the dissolution of the Election Commission through constitutional amendments, expanding the number of standing commissioners, and introducing personnel hearings.
Furthermore, Han asserted, "As a responsible ruling party, we will thoroughly pursue institutional improvements and rigorous fact-finding efforts," stressing the commitment to safeguarding voting rights and restoring public trust.
