Warships Bring Pilkada Logistics To Enggano Island

DOCUMENTS CAN

JAKARTA - The logistics for the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor of Bengkulu for the 2020 Pilkada to Enggano Island were transported by warship.

"The distribution of pilkada logistics to the outer islands of Indonesia including Enggano Island, North Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province is coordinated directly by the Indonesian Navy," said Bengkulu Province KPU Commissioner Darlinsyah as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 1.

This is done to ensure that all election needs such as ballot papers, ballot boxes and other logistics including personal protective equipment (PPE) on the outer islands arrive on time so that they do not cause problems on election day on December 9.

"The ballots on Enggano Island have been coordinated with the Naval Base in Jakarta and they will assist in the delivery of logistics using their warships," he said.

However, Darlinsyah admitted that he did not know for sure when the logistics for the elections for Enggano Island would be dispatched, but he confirmed that all the needs for the implementation of the election would arrive one day before the voting day.

In addition, logistics for the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor of Bengkulu for 10 regencies and cities in Bengkulu are no longer through the Bengkulu Provincial KPU, but are sent directly to the respective regional KPU.

"So, for example, there are damaged ballots that we can immediately replace, so that on D-1 everything is ready and distributed," said Darlinsyah.
