Investigators on Monday were set to question a group of civil servants who worked at polling stations that experienced ballot shortages during the June 3 local elections, legal sources said.
Eight individuals have been asked to appear before a joint police and prosecution team investigating the ballot shortages that temporarily suspended voting at 26 polling stations across the nation.
The civil servants in question are said to have been mobilized to manage two polling stations in Seoul that experienced ballot paper shortages.
Investigators plan to question them about the election watchdog's response measures to the shortages at the time, according to the informed sources.
