National PPP calls for revote after unprecedented ballot shortage in Seoul Unprecedented ballot shortages at polling stations across Seoul disrupted Wednesday’s local elections, 03.06.2026

The Korea Herald

Unprecedented ballot shortages significantly disrupted South Korea's local elections in Seoul on Wednesday, leading to extended voting hours, delays, and protests. The main opposition People Power Party (PPP) has demanded a halt to vote counting and a potential revote in Seoul, citing compromised fairness and infringed voting rights, particularly as some ballots were cast after 6 p.m. while vote-counting broadcasts had already begun. The National Election Commission (NEC) apologized for the mismanagement, admitting 14 polling stations ran short of ballots and that they printed ballots for only about 50 percent of eligible voters in Seoul's Songpa-gu district without a clear rationale. The ruling Democratic Party acknowledged the NEC's poor management but dismissed calls for a revote.
