Head Of OIKN Checks TPS Readiness In IKN Area

PENAJAM - Head of the Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono reviewed the readiness of one of the polling stations in the IKN area, to be precise TPS 1, in Argo Mulyo Village, Sepaku District, East Kalimantan (Kaltim).

Bambang said, although the technical arrangements for the 2024 General Election in the Nusantara area remain the working area of the North Penajam Paser Regency (PPU) and the PPU Regency Government, the role of the IKN Authority is still needed as a facilitator for workers in the Central Government Core Area (KIPP) who will exercise their voting rights during voting.

"We (OIKN) encourage workers from outside Kalimantan to exercise their right to vote in the 2024 General Election," said Bambang, in the capital city of Nusantara, Tuesday.

He ensured that several polling stations were ready to carry out general elections at IKN which will be held tomorrow on February 14, 2024, running smoothly.

Bambang also hopes that community participation in the electoral process can run successfully and democratically.

As an effort to make the 2024 General Election a success at IKN, OIKN together with the Ministry of PUPR, PPU Regency KPU, PPU Bawaslu, PPU Regency Government, and IKN Main Construction Management (MKI) as part of the task force (task force) have been active in providing socialization of TPS procedures and locations to workers.

In order to anticipate additional voters from IKN development workers, OIKN together with the PPU Regency KPU, PPU Bawaslu, and the PPU Regency Government have set two special polling stations (TPS), namely TPS 901 and TPS 902 located at the Bumi Harapan Sepaku Rest Area.

As for the special TPS, there are 304 Lists of Additional Voters (DPTb) who are IKN workers. This number is divided into two, namely 187 DPTb registered at TPS 901, and 117 DPTb registered at TPS 902.
