Like c'mon, you gotta prepare MORE than the expected turnout rate. You should stock at least 5% extra buffers, right? lol

The last election already had so many controversies with the election commission, why isn't anything improving? Why are they just making more mess?

๐ŸฆŠ

These lazy bastards spend all their time sucking up and taking breaks, so they have zero motivation to fix anything lol

๐ŸฆŠ

The election commission chair needs to come out and give a public apology you ass

๐ŸฆŠ

Oh, we're off-duty so employees are being brought in anyway? Don't touch the ballots then lol

๐Ÿบ

as someone from a country with 50M people and we manage fine, this is wild to watch from the outside

๐ŸฆŠ

Technically speaking, isn't this actually a pretty major issue?

๐ŸฆŠ

wait this is actually insane, how does a developed country run out of ballots in 2024??

๐ŸฆŠ

okay but why is nobody talking about how this directly impacted voter turnout?? this is huge

๐ŸฆŠ

Is the problem that you people voted too much?

๐ŸฆŠ

14 locations??? I thought it was just 1 place, that's insane??

๐ŸฆŠ

my conspiracy theorist uncle was RIGHT for once and i hate it

๐ŸฆŠ

This is some real incompetence

๐ŸฆŠ

not me finding out about this on here before any news outlet covered it properly ๐Ÿ’€

๐ŸฆŠ

Yeonsu-gu also ran out of ballots

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

If voting rights aren't protected, what's the point of democracy? The election commission seriously needs to get called out

๐ŸฆŠ

honestly this feels like a logistical failure that could've been prevented with like... basic planning

๐ŸฆŠ

In a free democratic country like South Korea, this is absolutely legit not something you dismiss as minor. Is Korea some third-world country now??

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

Should've cut costs properly somewhere else, not on ballot paper...

๐ŸฆŠ

lmaooo this explains SO much about what happened at my polling place, thought i was going crazy ๐Ÿ˜ญ
