Special Prosecutor Raids NEC, Two Election Management Contractors
Evidence uncovered that security inspection documents were falsified
Lee Tae-han's special prosecutor team, which is investigating issues including a shortage of ballot papers during the June 3 local elections, has launched raids on the National Election Commission (NEC) and election-management service providers.
The team said it had been conducting searches and seizures since 9:10 a.m. on November 12 at NEC servers, its information security-related departments, and the offices of two election-management service providers.
The team reportedly uncovered evidence that relevant documents had been falsified while investigating allegations that the NEC had inadequately conducted its own security inspections. The team said the documents claimed thorough inspections had been carried out even though security vulnerabilities and other issues had not been properly checked.
