A special counsel team revealed on Thursday that six more local election commissions have been found to have entered incorrect voter turnout data during the June 3 local elections, raising the total to 36 commissions. The investigation, spearheaded by Lee Tae-han's team, has been examining various suspicions concerning the National Election Commission (NEC), the country's election watchdog.
The team's findings follow a previous disclosure of 30 local commissions that had entered inaccurate voter turnout figures. Lee's team conducted searches, analyzed seized items, and questioned officials to uncover the additional six commissions. These commissions are located in Chungju and Nonsan in North Chungcheong Province, two districts in Changwon in South Gyeongsang Province, Sangju in North Gyeongsang Province, and Gangneung in Gangwon Province.
