DKI KPU Prepares Mobile TPS Services During The 2024 Pilkada

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta General Election Commission has prepared mobile polling polling stations (TPS) for voters who cannot attend the Pilkada voting location on November 27, 2024.

"We have prepared a Mobile TPS service or the Mobile Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) to visit voters whose condition is indeed sick," said Head of the Technical Division for the Implementation of the General Election Commission (KPU) DKI Jakarta, Dody Wijaya, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, November 20.

In principle, he said, voters come to the TPS. "If you can't, the officer who comes to the voter," he said.

Dody said that KPPS officers would visit the voter's house at around 12.00 until 13.00.

The TPS supervisor will bring the required logistics such as ballots, ballot booths and ink to voters' homes and voting witnessed by witnesses.

According to him, there are no administrative requirements needed to be able to take advantage of this service. Family members or those closest to voters can previously report parties who are unable to attend the polling station to the officer.

"There are no administrative requirements. At least the family reports to the KPPS. This practice has been going on for a long time and is also regulated in the KPPS technical guidelines," said Dody.

The DKI KPU has determined the vote for the DKI Jakarta Regional Election on November 27, 2024. The vote in Jakarta will be held at 14,835 polling stations that have been determined by the DKI KPU.

Jakarta residents can check the location of the DKI Jakarta Pilkada TPS in 2024 online through the cendptonline.kpu.go.id page. Meanwhile, the DKI KPU set a permanent voter list (DPT) for the 2024 Pilkada as many as 8,214,007 voters.

The 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilkada was followed by candidate pair (paslon) governor and deputy governor number 1 Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO), candidate pair number 2 Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana (Dharma-Kun) and candidate pair number 3 Pramono Anung-Rano Karno (Pram-Doel).

Meanwhile, the calm period of the 2024 Pilkada begins on November 24, 2024 and lasts for three days before the vote.

"The campaign period ends on November 23, 2024. The quiet period is D-3 until D (voting) day," said Dody.
