JAKARTA - Member of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Mochammad Afifuddin said the polling organization (KPPS) in a number of polling stations (TPS) had problems in using Sirekap.

Sirekap is an online Voice Recapitulation Information System. As a result, sending the results of votes from the TPS to the district election committee (PPK) took longer.

In fact, there is still a manual vote recapitulation process which will later become the official vote acquisition result in the 2020 Pilkada.

"The process of sending ballot boxes from polling stations in several regions has not yet been implemented. KPU has set a policy so that KPPS will complete data entry into Sirekap before the ballot boxes are delivered to PPK," Afif said in the Bawaslu RI Youtube live broadcast, Wednesday, December 9.

"As a result, it took longer for the vote count results at the TPS to reach PPK. Even up to 19.30 WIB, KPPS was still waiting in line to send data on voting results to Sirekap," he continued.

Until 20.00 WIB, Bawaslu has collected the results of supervision by taking a photo of Form C. KWK results as the result of the calculation at the TPS.

In the Regency / City election, TPS supervisors who had collected the results of the supervision were 175,593 out of 298,939 (59 percent). Meanwhile in the gubernatorial election, polling station supervisors at 28,251 out of 62,376 polling stations (45 percent) have submitted their reports.

"Meanwhile, the vote counting process at several polling stations is still ongoing," said Afif.

Based on data from the General Election Supervision System (Siwaslu), the use of voting rights in the gubernatorial election was 82 percent. Meanwhile, in the election of regents / mayors it was 83 percent.

In fact, in several districts / cities, reports on the sending of vote count results through Siwaslu have reached more than 60 percent.

"Among them, 83 percent in Gresik Regency, 88 percent in Sragen, 66 percent in Cianjur Regency, 71 percent in Balikpapan, 66 percent in Denpasar and 76 percent in Trenggalek," he added.
