JAKARTA - Member of Commission II of the DPR from the PAN faction, Guspardi Gaus, reminded the Indonesian KPU to be careful and careful in matching and research (Coklit) updating voter data (Pantarih). In particular, ensure young voters who will participate in the upcoming 2024 election.

According to Guspardi, data from the Population and Civil Registry Office (Dukcapil) must be complete. However, there must be differences with voter data on February 14, 2024. Where the voters must have died, changed addresses, changed professions to become members of the TNI/Polri and so on.

"That needs to be addressed, addressed and studied. How to prepare mitigation steps for citizens who should have the right to vote, do not be (forced) not to vote," said Guspardi in his statement, Monday, March 6.

The West Sumatra electoral district PAN legislator revealed that in the 2019 election there were still many people who did not vote not because of the goal. But because they escaped data collection when they were not yet classified as voters or moved domicile.

"And, there are a lot of fictitious voter data that have been misused to add voters at the polling station. Troubled voter data can be very sensitive as a lawsuit for election disputes by parties who are not satisfied with the election results," he explained.

Therefore, Guspardi assessed that there are two ways to anticipate voter data so as not to escape the matching of voter data. First, initiatives from the Head of RT/RW or village officials to record new prospective voters or residents who have just moved domicile. Second, the active role of residents to report themselves is that they have not been registered as voters. "Active roles of residents and village officials are needed so that voter data in the future is not problematic. For example, data on members of the TNI or Polri, do not escape data collection. Because, it could be that after the 2019 election, he has retired from members of the TNI or Polri, so he has the right to vote in the 2024 election," explained Guspardi.

Likewise, when the 2019 election, he continued, had been registered as voters, but after the election they were accepted as members of the TNI or Polri, they certainly did not have the right to vote in the upcoming elections.

"Then the data regarding people who have died, it's also risky. There are also many abuses committed by individuals who have died. It could be that people have died, but they don't have a death certificate yet, so they are considered to be alive and have voting rights. That is also a part that needs to be inventoried, it needs to be tracked down and known that pantarlih to be submitted to the kelurahan or field workers pantrelih as an extension of the KPU," said the member of the Legislative Council., according to him, manual data can also be used as a comparison for validity of data at polling stations (TPS).

"KPU, I think it is necessary to provide complete access to voter data information to election supervisors. This is done so that Bawaslu can carry out maximum supervision," said Guspardi. Previously, the Indonesian KPU said that the development of matching and research (Coklit) carried out by voter data updating officers (Panterlih) in several areas was almost 100 percent. KPU Optimistic, the 2024 election stages that have been carried out since February 12 will be completed according to the target on March 14. "So far, there have been several areas where the bulk reaches 70-80 percent," said KPU RI member Betty Epsilon Idroos in his statement, Sunday, March 5. According to Betty, so far the omnilit process has not experienced any problems. Therefore, he ensured, all the Pintarlis on duty can maximize their duties in the remaining time until March 14. "We have not received news that there is no solution in the field, all of them have solutions. If we personally express our gratitude to the work of the pantrih, it is very extraordinary in the field when doing a bulk," he said.

Selain melakukan coklit, tambah Betty, Pantarlih juga melakukan diskusi untuk evaluasi dan menyampaikan kejauhan kerja coklitnya di lapangan setiap 10 hari. Kami punya mekanisme di mana Pantarlih dikumpulkan PPS untuk diskusi, rapat kecil begitu ya untuk bicara sudah kejauh belakukan, mendatangi rumah siapa saja perharinya, kendalasnya apa saja, jelas Betty.
