Indonesian Citizens In Warsaw Take Long Ways To Vote For Mencoblos

JAKARTA - A number of Indonesian citizens (WNI) living in various cities in Poland are willing to travel long hours in order to vote in the 2024 General Election, said the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw.

Many Indonesian citizens from various cities in Poland visited the Indonesian Embassy in the city of Warsaw. Many also need hours to travel. The election starts in the morning, but is prioritized for Foreign Permanent Voters (PTLN)," said the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw, quoted from Antara, Sunday.

The elections in Poland were held on Saturday (10/2) at the Indonesian Embassy building, where Indonesian citizen voters voted at the polling station (TPS).

Indonesian citizens who are included in the Foreign Permanent Voter List (DPTLN) vote in the morning, while those who are included in the Foreign Temporary Voters List (DPSLN) are advised to come in the afternoon.

Indonesian citizens who face difficulties coming directly to TPS are facilitated by postal methods.

One of the voters who voted at the Indonesian Embassy was Nugraha Akbar Nurrochmat, a doctoral student at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.

According to him, the elections in Poland run in an orderly and smooth manner and were followed by many Indonesian citizens who enthusiastically voted.

"Even though it is abroad, the spirit of nationalism must still be maintained, one of which is by voting," he said.
