On the 2nd, People Power Party floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik pointed out that the National Election Commission quickly responded to the complaint of Rep. Seo Young-kyo of the Democratic Party of Korea on the day of the June 3 local elections, saying, “They gave a free pass to the demands of the ruling party’s Legislative Committee Chairman and put up barricades on the people’s right to vote.” This was pointed out in contrast to the situation in which some polling places where there was a shortage of ballots at the time continuously contacted the National Election Commission to resolve the situation, but did not receive a response. At the party's Supreme Council meeting this morning, floor leader Jeong said, "At the same time that the National Election Commission, which received a request call from a member of the ruling party's National Assembly, responded in 9 minutes and acted as if it were on standby for civil complaints, many citizens had to wait for over 1, 3, or 6 hours because they could not even receive their ballot papers." Rep. Seo, who was previously elected as chairman of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee for the second half of the 22nd National Assembly, is said to have called Roh Tae-ak, then chairman of the National Election Commission, on the day of the local elections and asked him to promote the prevention of double voting in basic assembly elections. Accordingly, Heo Cheol-hoon, then Secretary General of the National Election Commission, directly addressed Rep. Seo within 9 minutes.
