[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in expressed regret on the 6th regarding the controversy over early voting management, stating that the National Election Commission must provide an explanation that the public can accept.

According to Park Kyung-mi, the Blue House spokesperson, President Moon said that day, "I regret the occurrence of the controversy related to early voting," and made this statement.

The remarks came in response to multiple reports nationwide of poor practices related to early voting, such as ballots already marked being placed in envelopes for confirmed patients' early voting, or breaking the principle of 'direct voting' by placing ballots in paper boxes for transport.

President Moon emphasized, "I believe the National Election Commission needs to provide a detailed and sufficient explanation of the circumstances so that the public can understand," adding, "Measures must be thoroughly prepared to prevent such controversies from recurring in the main election."

He continued, "I hope that the voting rights of confirmed patients and those in quarantine are fully guaranteed and that every effort is made to avoid any fairness-related controversies."
