Re-voting, Bawaslu Reminds PPLN Kuala Lumpur To Obey Recommendations About Posts And KSK
JAKARTA - The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) reminded the Kuala Lumpur overseas election committee (PPLN) to obey the recommendations regarding not counting the number of votes that came in from the post method voting process and the mobile ballot box.
Bawaslu chairman Rahmat Bagja admitted that he was worried about receiving reports that PPLN Kuala Lumpur would still count the number of votes that came in from the voting process using this method.
"If then PPLN friends are still, in this process, then against the recommendations of Panwaslu Kuala Lumpur, we will take actions in accordance with statutory regulations," said Bagja as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 14.
Bawaslu also recommended re-voting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Bagja said that the ballots that had been cast, collected from the mobile ballot boxes (KSK) or posts, were not counted.
"There were no calculations and the process was repeated using the method of post and mobile ballot boxes," said Bagja.
Bagja said the incident in the video about a number of ballots controlled and then voting in Kuala Lumpur was true and was one of the reasons Bawaslu recommended re-voting there.
"Because there are many series of incidents of violations which then have an impact on voting methods for postal methods and mobile ballot boxes in Kuala Lumpur," said Bagja.

For this reason, Bawaslu recommended that the re-voting in Kuala Lumpur begin first with updating voter data for postal methods and mobile ballot boxes.
Voters who have registered to vote at the polling station (TPS) cannot be included in the matching and research database (coklit) for updating voter data, and are not included in the post method voting and mobile ballot boxes.
"This is to avoid having activities to vote twice," said Bagja.
Bawaslu also recommended that the Kuala Lumpur foreign voting committee (PPLN) look for methods other than post to avoid the same incident in the video being repeated.
