NATUNA - KPU members will monitor preparations for the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) in Natuna Regency, one of the islands bordering a number of countries.

The Chairperson of the KPU for the Riau Islands Province, Sriwati, appreciated the desire of KPU members to make a working visit to Natuna, which is in northern Indonesia.

The visit was also a source of factual information related to the geographical condition of Natuna, which has hundreds of islands.

"This is a very interesting visit because of course the geographical conditions of Natuna are different from other regions in general in Indonesia, so we hope that the KPU will pay attention to it," he said in Tanjungpinang, quoted from Antara, Monday, June 20.

Sriwati added that the KPU would know the condition of the voting community on the islands in Natuna Regency, and the condition of the Natuna KPU Office.

KPU members visited Natuna, the day after tomorrow after meeting with members of the Riau Islands Provincial KPU in Batam. The KPU member left for Natuna by using a Wings plane from Batam.

"Not using ships, but small planes," he said.

Sriwati hopes that the KPU will also make a working visit to the Anambas Islands Regency, which has almost the same geographical condition as Natuna. Anambas is also a district that borders a number of countries.

"We hope that on the next opportunity, the KPU will visit Anambas. This will encourage the implementation of the election stages to be maximized," he concluded.
