The National Election Commission's (NEC) website experienced a glitch on Tuesday, a day before by-elections.

Access was limited for just under two and a half hours, from 9:20 a.m. to 11:47 a.m.

An NEC official told Yonhap News Agency that the issue occurred while the commission was internally updating the website.

By-elections for Busan’s new education superintendent, as well as city mayors and district and county chiefs, will take place across 23 constituencies on Wednesday.
