He admitted that for the PSU Papua Pilkada stage, which had entered the campaign until August 2, Bawaslu continued to supervise by coordinating with the Biak Numfor Police.
"Especially supervision for the schedule and permit for the implementation of the campaign because it was expelled from the Regional Police, so coordination is needed to facilitate Bawaslu supervision," Simon hoped.
Meanwhile, Biak Numfor Regent Markus O Mansnembra invited all interested parties and the public to make the PSU Papua Pilkada Aug. 6.
"Let's make it a success with the Papuan Pilkada PSU so that it can take place democratically and there will no longer be a PSU," he said.
He hopes that the KPU and Bawaslu will continue to coordinate in an effort to make the PSU stage a success, which is only a few days away.
Chairman of KPU Joey Nicolas Lawalata emphasized that all PSU Pilkada logistics for the Biak Numfor KPU are 100 percent ready, just waiting for distribution to 19 district and village/kelurahan electoral committees to voting groups.
The Biak KPU, he continued, today, Monday, July 21, has packed the warehouse to put it in the ballot box.
Joey said, as many as 103,557 PSU votes for the Papua Regional Head Election were ready to be used for August 6, 2025.
Joey appealed to all elements of the Biak Numfor community who have been registered as permanent voters to be able to channel their voting rights on August 6 by visiting which polling stations are registered.
Based on the permanent voter list, the Papuan Pilkada PSU is the same as the simultaneous regional elections on November 27, 2024 for Biak Numfor Regency, the number of male voters is 49,705, the number of female voters is 51,169 with a total of 100,874 voters.
