South Korean authorities raid National Election Commission over alleged false voter turnout data

South Korea's joint investigation team has launched a raid on the National Election Commission (NEC) and regional election commissions in Songpa, Gangnam, and Seocho districts. This action is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged false input of voter turnout data during the recent June 3 local elections.

The investigation is focusing on suspicions that NEC and Gyeonggi Provincial Election Commission officials may have falsely entered voter turnout figures. Authorities have reportedly secured evidence suggesting that election commission employees intentionally modified electronic records to hide mistakes made in inputting the number of voters.

The raids are aimed at gathering further evidence related to the alleged manipulation of electronic records and potential obstruction of official duties. The investigation seeks to uncover the full extent of the irregularities and hold those responsible accountable.
