KIP Reminds KPU About Community Accessed C1-Plano Model Form

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Public Information Commission (KIP) Arya Sandhiyudha reminded the General Elections Commission (KPU) that the C1-Plano Model Form or records of vote count results for the 2024 General Election can be accessed by the public.

"In the event of the absence of access for candidates, political parties, or voters to participate in checking the suitability of the number of votes broadcast on the KPU website with C1 documents, it is part of the principle of public participation to monitor the performance of the KPU as a public body that organizes the election of representatives of the people," Arya said when contacted in Jakarta, Friday, February 16, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the KPU as a public body is obliged to carry out public information disclosure, more transparency, accountability, and participation. This is because vote counting is not only about the president and vice president.

He said the broadcast of the number of votes for political parties and legislative candidates was no less important.

Arya emphasized that elections are related to the lives of many people, so that the KPU must inform accurately so as not to cause a commotion.

This is also regulated in Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure (UU KIP) and Information Commission (PERKI) Regulation Number 1 of 2019 concerning General Information Service Standards for Elections.

"The KPU must re-check every information that comes in and wants to be broadcast," he concluded.

The 2024 election includes the presidential and vice presidential elections, members of the DPR RI, members of the DPD RI, members of the provincial DPRD, and members of the district/city DPRD with a national voter list (DPT) of 204,807,222 voters.
