Rep. Jeong Dal-seong, accused of proxy voting, cleared of disciplinary action... likely to impact future online voting systems
This question aimed to confirm the connection between the two events. Rep. Jeong Dal-seong denied the simultaneous holding of the two events, stating that his participation in the Party Member Sovereignty Era event was separate, and the Nosamo lightning meeting was unrelated to the Party Member Sovereignty Era.
The inquiry specifically addressed Lee Jong-won's live broadcasting instructing respondents to choose different regions or ages if the region or age quota was full during a public opinion poll. Rep. Jeong Dal-seong evaded a direct answer, stating that he was unaware of Lee Jong-won's alleged manipulation of public opinion, having neither seen nor heard anything about it.
He emphasized that the party's election management committee must objectively and fairly differentiate all cases, including his own, and establish follow-up measures. Rep. Jeong's principled answer, in the context of this proxy voting issue and his own case, suggested the need for fundamental problem-solving efforts at the party level.
The reporter expressed concern that this dismissal could make it difficult to establish clear standards for proxy voting in future online elections. It was pointed out that this case could set a bad precedent, effectively giving a free pass.
He argued that to fundamentally resolve this issue, an in-depth discussion is needed on how the party's election management committee will make self-correcting efforts to ensure objectivity and fairness. This statement is interpreted as emphasizing the need to prevent similar controversies from recurring through internal system improvements within the party.
