More than 6,000 people protested on Friday night at a vote-counting centre in Seoul, demanding this week's local elections be repeated after a shortage of ballots prevented some people from voting, the Yonhap news agency reported.
The crowd gathered at the SK Olympic Handball Stadium, where votes were counted from Wednesday's elections to pick mayors, provincial governors, county officers and members of local assemblies, Reuters witnesses said. Yonhap reported unofficial police estimates of the crowd size.
