University students across South Korea stage protests after ballot papers run short at polling stations during the June 3 election. Reports say dozens of polling stations nationwide face a shortage of roughly 7,000 ballot papers, which leads to delays and public complaints. Protesters call for remedies over what they describe as election irregularities and the way the situation is handled. Separately, South Korea’s election watchdog head resigns in connection with the ballot paper dispute. However, authorities do not announce plans to hold a new vote, which students and other critics cite as a key reason for continuing unrest. The situation is prompting attention to election oversight and contingency measures, as multiple polling stations are affected rather than a single isolated site. The protests reflect disagreement over whether the problems require a re-run of voting or other corrective steps.
