| Peru's highest electoral authority JNE decided to suspend the electronic voting system. Reported by Jee-yeon Jeong (정지연), Munhwa-ilbo Source: https://www.munhwa.com/article/11555572 |
In an official statement on the 19th (local time), The JNE stated, "The digital voting solution technology (STVD·Solución Tecnológica de Voto Digital) does not guarantee the stability, security, and reliability necessary for immediate application in the 2026 general election." Consequently, the system will not be used in the upcoming general election.
The JNE's decision, which was made following an independent audit and evaluation of the electronic voting system, stems from the conclusion that the technology is not yet ready for elections in terms of security and reliability.
The JNE explained, "The legal legitimacy of the electoral system and voters' trust are paramount. Implementing a digital voting system with the current technological level risks failing to accurately reflect the true will of voters, and therefore, the digital voting system cannot be applied in the upcoming general election."
After reading this article, I see that Peru is a much more advanced country than South Korea in that its National Election Commission can independently review and assess the situation and make rational decisions.

| "Voting machines are key physical targets in election fraud schemes." |
In past Korean elections, numerous voters demanded recounts, some of which were granted. The electoral fraud uncovered during the recounts was severe. However, judges who had previously served as the head of National Election Commission (NEC), despite witnessing the irregularities in ballots and ballot boxes with their own eyes, dismissed the objections, stating, "It was a fair election."
Unlike Peru, which made the admirable decision to suspend the electronic voting system to ensure fair elections, high-ranking officials in South Korea are turning a blind eye to all the election-related issues.
Moreover, according to an article recently published, President Lee Jae-myung strongly urged Korean voters living abroad to adopt mail-in voting as well as electronic voting system.

| When Gyoung-hyeob Gihm (김경협) head of the Overseas Koreans Office, said that he had consulted with the National Election Commission and the National Assembly several times and that some had raised concerns about the electronic voting and mail-in voting systems in terms of security and reliability, President Lee silenced him with unverified claims that it's because they're attempting to prevent overseas Koreans from voting. President Lee dismissed the public's concerns which were delivered by the head of the Overseas Koreans Office, with a hasty and far-fetched interpretation.

The introduction of electronic voting machines has raised concerns about election fraud in several countries, and with many voters in South Korea expressing similar concerns, President Lee's push to introduce an electronic voting system seems highly questionable and irresponsible.
South Korean voters are demanding revisions of the Public Official Election Act to make ballot boxes transparent, to abolish the early voting and mail-in voting systems, and to revert to hand-counting ballots immediately after polls close on Election Day.
In a democratic system, fair elections are a core and fundamental principle, an undeniable element, like a law of nature. An electoral system that allows fraud denies the essence of democracy.
