University students across South Korea to protest in ballot shortage row

Student unions at 18 universities said they will hold new demonstrations from 6pm Wednesday.

“We are determined to protest because people are universally outraged regardless of political affiliation,” Hwang In-seo of Yonsei University’s student council, told AFP.

Analysts say the National Election Commission, a constitutional body with limited external oversight, has long faced gaps in internal discipline and review mechanisms.

A Seoul court this week ordered evidence from an affected polling station in the capital be preserved for investigation, while local media reported prosecutors and police had agreed to set up a joint investigation team.

The evidence includes ballot boxes and CCTV footage, a representative of the Seoul Eastern District Court told AFP.
