오세훈 “투표용지 부족, ‘헌정 유린’…선관위 해체 수준의 개혁 촉구”

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon strongly criticized the National Election Commission (NEC) for the ballot shortage incident during the recent general election, labeling it an act of "constitutional violation." He argued that such a failure undermines the fundamental principles of democracy and the integrity of the electoral process. Mayor Oh called for a reform of the NEC at a level that could be considered its dissolution, emphasizing the need for drastic measures to prevent future occurrences. He stressed that the public's trust in the election system must be restored through significant institutional changes.

This incident and the mayor's strong reaction highlight concerns about the reliability and fairness of electoral processes, which are foundational to democratic governance.
