There was also a prediction that the counting of the votes would be a little delayed because the votes today (the 9th) were voted by the corona confirmed and quarantined people by 7:30 pm.

Let's find out how the counting is going on right now by connecting reporters who are out of the counting booth.



Reporter Jeong Da-eun, how is the vote counting now?



<Reporter>



Yes, I am at the ticket counter in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.



Here, the ballot counting work started a little after 8 pm when the sealed ballot box was opened.



As you can see behind me, the vote counting process is proceeding smoothly.



Let me show you one precious vote you exercised today, and through what process it is counted.



First of all, it's an open box.



You can see the papers piled up on the table, clerks wearing masks and gloves are tidying up by hand one by one.



When the arrangement is complete, it is handed over to the 'Ball Sorting Operation Department' next to it.



When you load the paper into the sorter, the paper is sorted by candidate.



When the arrangement is completed, it is transferred to the 'Examination Counting Department', which checks the number of votes and whether there are invalid votes, etc.



But it doesn't end here.



All procedures are completed when the chairperson announces the results after confirmation by the Election Commissioners here.



Most of all, you may be curious about the result of the counting, but since it's still in the early stages of counting, I hope you can watch it on SBS Election Broadcast until the end.
