June 25 (Asia Today) -- A South Korean court has again rejected a request to preserve ballots, ballot boxes and other election materials kept at a counting center in Seoul's Songpa District.
The First Civil Division of the Seoul Eastern District Court, led by Presiding Judge Joo Jin-am, dismissed an appeal Tuesday filed by the Freedom and Innovation party against the chair of the Songpa District Election Commission.
The materials were stored at a counting center inside the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium.
The court rejected the party's initial evidence-preservation request on June 12, prompting the party to appeal.
