BATURAJA - The General Elections Commission (KPU) said that the use of the name or identity of a citizen to become a member of a political party during the 2024 legislative election (Pileg) could happen.

For this reason, residents who feel that their biodata is being used by political parties for the 2023 Legislative Elections must immediately report it. This was conveyed by the Chairman of the KPU Ogan Komering Ulu, South Sumatra, Naning Wijaya.

Naning also said that the KPU had prepared anticipatory steps if this happened. He said that the KPU RI would prepare a special application link for the public that could be accessed by everyone so that they could check whether their names were copied by political parties or not.

"The profiteering of names can be found by checking directly the link for the special application that has been made by the Indonesian KPU," said Naning, as reported by Antara, Saturday, August 13.

According to Naning, the link for a special application called Election Info can be accessed via the internet. After being directed to the checking page, residents just enter their respective NIK KTP and an explanation will come out whether the citizen is registered as a member of a political party or not.

Naning also invites the active role of the community to monitor this so that it can assist the KPU in verifying the political parties participating in the 2024 election.

"Come on, please check the application link to ensure that the names of residents are not copied by political parties participating in the 2024 election," he said.

Naning said that his party would respond and process the matter firmly if it was proven that there was true profiteering of the names or identities of residents. The steps to be taken are deletion or data correction.
