청 "Advance Voting System Hacking Manipulation Impossible"

Blue House Conveys Election Commission's Position on Petition... "Election Management and System Operation Are the Authority of the Central Election Commission"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House has reaffirmed the Central Election Commission's position that the early voting system cannot be hacked or manipulated, in response to concerns about the reliability of the early voting ballot issuance machine system.

Kang Jeong-su, head of the Blue House Digital Communication Center, explained on the 27th in response to a Blue House petition, "The petition to discard electronic vote counting machines received the support of 210,801 citizens. Issues such as the reliability of the early voting ballot issuance machine system raised by the petitioner and the disposal of electronic vote counting machines are handled by the Election Commission."

Emphasizing that it is difficult for the Blue House to express a direct opinion, they conveyed information posted on the Central Election Commission's website.

The Blue House stated, "▲ The early voting system cannot be hacked or manipulated ▲ Early voting boxes are kept sealed and access is controlled, and they are stored in locations equipped with CCTV security systems. These 'fact-check' details are posted on the Election Commission's website, so please check them." They added, "If you have further questions, please use the inquiry and reporting procedures of the Election Commission to receive an official response from the Commission."

Center head Kang said, "The Election Commission (hereafter Election Commission) is a national institution established to fairly manage elections and national referendums, as well as affairs related to political parties and political funds. It is an independent constitutional body with a status equivalent to the National Assembly, government, courts, and Constitutional Court." He continued, "Election management and system operation issues fall under the authority of the independent Election Commission, so we ask for your understanding that the government has limitations in responding."
