Thousands of protesters surrounded a vote counting facility in eastern Seoul on Friday over ballot shortages that disrupted Wednesday's local elections, prompting police to disperse the crowd and secure ballot boxes.
South Korea's ruling Democratic Party secured 12 of 16 major local posts in June 3 elections. The main opposition retained Seoul with Oh Se-hoon winning a fifth term. Ballot shortages disrupted voting in parts of the capital.
