Acting Governor Of Bali Asks For The Back Side Of The Sound Screen To Be Closed

TABANAN - Acting Governor of Bali Sang Made Mahendra Jaya asked polling stations (TPS) to prepare a polling location with a ballot booth whose back side was closed.

Sang Made conveyed this after monitoring the creation of three polling stations for the voting on February 14 tomorrow, where if the back side of the ballot booth opens there is a potential for the voting process to be seen by others.

"Earlier at the TPS in Badung at the Banjar hall behind it still looks like it has to be closed, it can still be seen. We want to really choose tomorrow who feels comfortable not feeling intimidated," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 13.

The polling stations in question are TPS 20 Banjar Derod Pembatan, Lukluk Village, Mengwi Badung, but besides that Acting Governor of Bali also highlighted TPS 65 Banjar Ratangan Gede, Ubung Kaja Village, North Denpasar, and his last visit at Pols 005 Banjar Tonja, Gubung Village, Tabanan.

In addition to input for the organizing committee to prepare a closed ballot booth, from its observation there is still a polling station with a limited ballot booth, he requested that there be at least 1 meter between booths.

"Too close, the distance between views is too close, especially yes, and elsewhere too. But it looks good TPS at school, right," he said highlighting TPS in Banjar Tonja.

The rest of the number one people in the Bali Provincial Government appreciated the performance of the KPU, Bawaslu, and the security forces, as well as the organizing committee at the sub-district, village and KPPS levels.

"I see that they are ready, yes, logistics are ready, places are also ready, the budget is also ready. We hope that tomorrow our colleagues who have the right to come to the polling station, use their right to vote, this is swadharmakita as a community, a few minutes at the polling station will determine the future, sustainability, government development," he said in a message.

The Bali Provincial Government admits to supporting two Bali KPU targets in the 2024 General Election, namely voter participation touched 83 percent, and there were no mistakes that led to a lawsuit against the Constitutional Court.

Chairman of the Bali KPU I Dewa Agung Gede Lidartawan said that apart from the three polling stations visited by Forkopimda Bali, there were no significant problems, all logistics were safe and arrived in their respective villages.

He said, at several logistics polling stations, they were neatly stored and closely guarded, the election budget was ready in the village, and the security forces were ready to maintain the smooth running of activities.

"Then for blank spots, there are no more, some of the signals that have not been picked up by fiber optics, one of which is in Tejakula, it has been completed and we actually have this Sirekap application, it can be offline bisaonline," said Lidartawan.
