An investigator from a joint prosecution-police task force exits an office of the National Election Commission (NEC) in Cheongju, the capital of North Chungcheong Province, central South Korea, on Aug. 7, 2026, as the task force began a search and seizure at the NEC's headquarters in Gwacheon, just south of Seoul, and other local commissions in the capital, Gyeonggi and North Chungcheong provinces to secure evidence over suspicions of data manipulation in connection with the June 3 local elections.
