[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Wooseok] Na Kyung-won, head of the Seoul headquarters of the People Power Party's election campaign committee, criticized the controversy over the management of early voting by COVID-19 positive voters on the 6th, calling it "a regression that cannot be seen in an advanced Korea."

Na said on her Facebook on the same day, "There has never been a time as regrettable as yesterday when I am not a member of the National Assembly and not part of the key decision-making bodies in the camp and the party," pointing out the issue.

She added, "Now that the party and the camp say they will thoroughly inspect and prepare countermeasures, I hope they will do their best," and emphasized, "For that, first of all, the problems and the fact-finding of the voting process of confirmed patients in early voting must be addressed."

She stated, "In particular, a clear investigation is needed regarding the claim that ballots marked for candidate Lee Jae-myung were already inside envelopes at the Eunpyeong polling station," and warned, "Unless there is a convincing explanation from the Election Commission and authorities about this, the public will not be able to dispel doubts about the election results. I urge a prompt investigation once again."

She continued, "Now, to ensure the election of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, we must vote more fiercely and draw out support until the end. I will give my all until the last moment," and added, "On behalf of the People Power Party, I sincerely apologize to the concerned citizens."

Meanwhile, the Central Election Commission stated in a press release on the 6th, "We deeply apologize to the public for the confusion and inconvenience caused by the early voting of COVID-19 positive voters conducted on March 5."
