The Joint Investigation Team is continuing its investigation into the ballot shortage that occurred during the June 3 local elections.
On July 1, legal sources reported that the team plans to summon one official from the Seoul Election Commission and two officials from the Seocho District Election Commission as witnesses. The investigation is focused on how these officials received instructions and responded to the reports of ballot shortages at polling stations during the elections.
The investigation also includes allegations regarding overseas trips taken by former Central Election Commission Chairman Noh Tae-ak. During his tenure, Noh reportedly traveled abroad three times with his spouse, but these trips were not documented in post-trip reports. The Joint Investigation Team interviewed the whistleblower related to these allegations the day prior to this announcement.
On July 2, the team is expected to question officials from the People Power Party's Media Special Committee who filed complaints regarding the same allegations.
