X上での初期の反応には、投票用紙不足によりソウルの開票所から抗議者が排除されたという事実に基づいた報告がある一方、野党支持地域での投票を当局が妨害しているとの疑念の声や、警察の暴力に対する非難、再選挙を求める投稿なども見られた。
During the last hour, Seoul police have forcibly removed peaceful protesters who have blocked a voting station in Jamsil. Poll workers walked out with the ballot boxes. The protest started because the station had ballot shortages. They want the counting to stop.

Counting stacks of unfolded pristine ballots are not acceptable. More ballots… https://t.co/kl653RyRoB
