Procedures And How To Be Disabled To Participate In The 2024 Election, Assisted With Assistance At TPS

YOGYAKARTA - Election implementation is carried out fairly for all Indonesian people to be able to participate in voting, including people with disabilities. People with disabilities have the right to vote in choosing presidential and vice presidential candidates. So what are the procedures and ways to participate in the 2024 election?

However, there are still many people with disabilities who do not know the standard for disabilities to participate in the 2024 General Election. Based on data from the Monitoring Community Forum Survey for Indonesia Inclusive Disabilities or Disability Formation, it is stated that only 35 percent of people with disabilities are recorded as disabled voters.

In the survey, it was found that 44.9 percent of disabled voters were recorded as not disabled and 19.4 percent did not know their status as voters in the election. Therefore, it is important to know the procedures and ways of being disabled to participate in the 2024 General Election.

KPU member Betty Epsilon Idroos said that his party would provide technical guidance to polling groups (KPPS) so that they could help people with disabilities on voting day. The goal is that KPPS can clearly direct people to people with disabilities in using their voting rights at polling stations.

People with disabilities can also be guided by family members and parties they trust to help when voting in elections. Based on data from the Voter Potential Population List (DP4) synchronized with the KPU for the bankruptcy process as of February 14, at least 352,784 voters are disabled in this year's election.

There are conditions or procedures that must be met by TPS for accessibility for persons with disabilities on the voting day for the 2024 General Election which will be held on February 14.

Voters Voters with disabilities who use sticks or wheelchairs can choose to bring a companion or not when voting on voting day. For blind voters, they can use the services of a companion from the KPPS or other people who are directly appointed by voters with disabilities.

The Voters' Help tools will be provided with assistive tools at the TPS for people with disabilities or disabled voters. At the polling station, there will be a tool in the form of a template that can help voters. Blind voters will be provided with a braille letter with a sound design to help when voting.

For people with deaf disabilities, writing will be provided so that they can find out the location of the KPPS desk, the TPS number, and the place of the sound booth. For people with disabilities who do not have hands, the assistant can help pass the presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs that voters want.
