Noh Taeak Apologizes for Early Voting Management Shortcomings... Vows Firm Response to Election Fraud Groups' Interference
Central Election Commission Chairman Noh Taeak stated on May 31 that "there were some shortcomings in management" regarding the early voting for the presidential election, and added, "I sincerely apologize for causing confusion among voters."
In a public statement, Chairman Noh said, "We will manage the upcoming election day voting with even greater rigor so that everyone can vote with confidence."
This marks a second apology, following the official statement issued on May 28 under the name of Secretary-General Kim Yongbin, after incidents such as the removal of ballot papers from the Sinchon early voting station in Seoul occurred.
Chairman Noh pointed out, "Groups claiming election fraud have systematically interfered with the management of early voting," and added, "As a result, there were cases where election commission staff were injured or early voting supervisors lost consciousness, as well as incidents of intrusions into election commission offices."
