The joint investigation team probing the shortage of voting papers during the June 3 local elections has summoned nine individuals, including officials from local election commissions and a printing contractor, for questioning. The investigation will examine the overall process of preparing voting papers and the response on election day.
According to legal sources on July 7, the joint investigation team plans to question the printing contractor who signed the contract with the election commission as a witness.
The team is expected to verify the entire process of the contract for the local election voting papers and the actual supply. Additionally, eight officials from the election commission will also be summoned for questioning on the same day.
The investigation will focus on officials from the Songpa and Gangnam election commissions, where there was a shortage of voting papers on election day, to understand the preparation process and the response during the election.
The team will also question officials from the Seocho election commission as witnesses to clarify the decision-making process that set the minimum printing quantity for voting papers at 50%.
Conversely, officials from the Gwanak, Seodaemun, Gangseo, Jungnang, and Mapo election commissions, where no shortage occurred, will also be questioned. These commissions had increased the printing ratio to over 50%, preventing shortages, and the investigation aims to uncover why the preparation situations varied among different local election offices.
