The National Assembly's special committee investigating the voting paper shortage during the nationwide local elections will conduct a field investigation at Olympic Park in Songpa, Seoul, on July 2. Both ruling and opposition parties plan to attempt to access the Jamsil counting center located within the handball stadium, but it remains uncertain whether citizens blocking the entrance will allow them through.
On June 30, the committee's representatives from both parties met at the National Assembly and reached this agreement. Yoon Geon-young, the Democratic Party's representative, told reporters after the meeting, "We have decided to visit Olympic Park for the field investigation on July 2. We plan to try to access the Jamsil counting center, but we need to assess the situation on-site. We will go as far as possible without causing friction."
Yoon added, "Since the National Assembly is visiting the site for verification purposes, we hope that the participants in the gathering will cooperate. Both parties are united in wanting to conduct this investigation, so your cooperation will help us get closer to uncovering the truth."
Initially, the committee had planned a single field investigation on July 8, but the schedule was changed to July 2 and July 7 following an agreement between the parties.
Seo Beom-soo, the People Power Party's representative, stated that after visiting the Songpa Election Commission on July 2, they plan to move to Olympic Park. He noted that they intend to visit the Central Election Commission and the Seoul Election Commission on July 7.
