Min So-young, the Songpa-gu election management Commission Chairperson who oversaw Jamsil in Songpa-gu, Seoul, where a ballot paper shortage occurred during the 9th nationwide local elections (June 3 local elections), resigned as Chairperson.
According to the National Election Commission and others on the 11th, Min, the election management Commission Chairperson, resigned on the 9th. Min, the Chairperson, expressed an intent to step down, and the Seoul City National Election Commission is said to have dismissed Min.
Min, the election management Commission Chairperson, is the senior presiding judge at the Seoul Eastern District Court and was appointed as the Songpa-gu election management Commission Chairperson on Feb. 28. However, on the main voting day of the June 3 local elections, 15 polling stations in Songpa-gu alone temporarily halted and then resumed voting due to a shortage of ballot papers. That is 57.7% of the 26 locations nationwide.

With Min, the election management Commission Chairperson, resigning, the Songpa-gu election management Commission will be run for the time being under acting authority by Vice Chairperson Kim Han-gwang.
