위철환 중앙선관위원장 직무대행은 국회 국정조사에서 6·3 지방선거 투표용지 부족 사태 관련 국민의힘의 사퇴 요구에 "더 큰 어려움을 야기한다면 국민들에게 더 죄송하다"며 재차 사퇴 의사를 밝히지 않았습니다. 그는 "지금 상황에서는 사퇴하는 것이 무책임하다"고 주장하며, 진상 규명에 최선을 다하겠다고 약속했습니다. 국민의힘은 위 직무대행의 사퇴를 강력하게 요구하며, 국민의 눈높이에 맞는 결정인지 질문하기도 했습니다. 위 직무대행은 이에 대해 "대단히 죄송하다"고 답했습니다.
Acting Chair Wi Cheol-hwan of the Central Election Management Committee said in response to the People Power Party's demand for his resignation regarding the shortage of ballots in the June 3 local elections, "I am more sorry to the people if I resign and cause further difficulties." He did not reiterate his intention to resign. He argued that "resigning is irresponsible in the current situation" and promised to do his best to uncover the truth. The People Power Party strongly demanded Wi's resignation and even questioned whether his decision was up to the standards of the people. In response, Wi said, "I am very sorry."
Penjabat Ketua Komisi Pemilihan Umum Pusat Wi Cheol-hwan dalam sidang investigasi parlemen terkait kekurangan surat suara pada pemilihan daerah 6 Juni, menanggapi tuntutan pengunduran diri dari Partai Kekuatan Rakyat, mengatakan "Jika saya mengundurkan diri dan menyebabkan kesulitan yang lebih besar, saya akan semakin menyesal kepada rakyat". Ia sekali lagi tidak menyatakan niat untuk mengundurkan diri. Wi Cheol-hwan berpendapat bahwa "mengundurkan diri saat ini adalah tindakan yang tidak bertanggung jawab" dan berjanji akan melakukan yang terbaik untuk mengungkap kebenaran. Partai Kekuatan Rakyat terus mendesak pengunduran diri Wi Cheol-hwan, mempertanyakan apakah keputusannya sesuai dengan harapan rakyat. Sebagai tanggapan, Wi Cheol-hwan menyatakan "Saya sangat menyesal".
