South Korea will overhaul its election process after shortages of ballot papers at local elections fuelled a public outcry, the presidential office says.
While the public outcry over the incident has not yet grown to a level that could jeopardise President Lee Jae-myung or his party's majority in parliament, some protesters have accused Lee's liberals of playing a part in what they called "election fraud".
Lee has said the issue exposed by the incident was a matter of democratic integrity, not a conspiracy to rig an election.
