韓國地方選舉今天登場,傳出首爾有部分選區發生選票不足、投票一度中斷,導致過了截止時間仍有選民未完成投票,引發民眾不滿,在野黨國民力量表示必將嚴正追究責任。
根據韓聯社報導,今天地方選舉期間,首爾松坡區、江南區、廣津區、銅雀區等10多處發生選票不足、投票一度中斷的情況,外界批評中央選舉管理委員會管理不善。雖然投票截止時間為下午6時,但有地方直到超過7時才讓所有選民進入投票所。
出現相同問題的投票所都緊急發放「候補票」來識別選民身分。報導指出,通常候補票是用來證明選民在截止時間(下午6時)前已抵達投票所的憑證,但這次卻不得不在投票截止後才開始發放,作為權宜之計。
曾在選管會工作約30年後退休的A先生表示,「我在職時不可能發生這種事,現在竟然發生了根本不該發生的怪事。」他指出,如果事先投票率較高,為了節省預算,確實有時只會印製相當於選民數70%的選票,但原則上仍應準備100%。
曾任中央選管會高層職務的人士B則表示,過去地方選舉投票率通常較低,因此一直有不會準備100%選票的慣例,「我認為這次問題就是這項慣例造成的。」也有推測認為,這次地方選舉候選人眾多,可能因此導致選票數量不足。
國民力量中央選舉對策委員會公報團長朴成訓對此表示,「連選票都準備不足的無能選管會,對於這起剝奪國民參政權、踐踏憲政秩序的事件,必將嚴肅追究責任。」
朴成訓批評,「竟然連最基本的選票準備工作都未能妥善完成,導致如此荒謬的大混亂,究竟有哪位國民能夠接受?」他也強調,將動用一切手段與方法,徹底查明此次事件原因,並採取所有必要措施,確保相關責任人受到應有處分。(編輯:陳慧萍)1150603
