JAKARTA - Bekasi Regency Bawaslu, West Java, accommodates public reports or complaints regarding alleged violations of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections through social media or social media.

"If we use the media, we have social media, either a website or Instagram, please interact there," said Head of the Bekasi Regency Bawaslu, Syaiful Bachri in Cikarang, Friday, June 17, quoted from Antara.

His party will forward every complaint report that comes in through social media. Whistleblowers are asked to include procedures for making reports before being followed up by law enforcement officials.

"At least it will be information for us to track down and investigate the violations on the ground," he added.

The public can also officially report alleged election violations to the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Gakkumdu) for the 2024 Election of Bekasi Regency.

"There must be, at least, two pieces of evidence if, for example, you want to report directly to us, of course; but when it comes to reports, of course there are formal requirements and so on," he explained.

The Bekasi Bawaslu has also opened registration for people who want to participate as supervisors to monitor the implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections.

According to him, community participation is highly expected to ensure the success of the election so that it is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the legislation, as well as in line with the Indonesian Bawaslu motto, 'Together with the People Oversee the Election, Together with Bawaslu Enforce the Election'.

"We are opening a registration service for observers. Let's work together to oversee the elections. In this case, maybe there are elements of society who are members of election monitoring NGOs to be able to register, so they get registration as observers for the 2024 election," he said.
