SEOUL, June 7 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Sunday ordered the launch of a thorough joint investigation by prosecutors and police into ballot shortages that disrupted last week's local elections, Yonhap News Agency reported.
A dozen locations in Seoul, including the eastern Songpa district, reported ballot shortages during Wednesday's elections, prompting the temporary suspension of voting at affected polling stations.
Thousands of protesters continued rallying near a vote-counting facility in eastern Seoul for a third consecutive day, demanding a new election.
