In December 2024, following President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of emergency martial law, some 300 martial law troops forcibly entered and occupied the National Election Commission's headquarters in Gwacheon for over three hours, confiscating officials' phones and sealing off the building's perimeter. The NEC formally condemned the action as "a clear violation of the Constitution" and noted that the incursion appeared aimed at gathering evidence for unsubstantiated claims of rigging in the April 2024 parliamentary elections. A subsequent months-long probe by the Gwacheon Police Station found no evidence of electoral fraud and determined there was insufficient basis to forward the case to prosecutors.
