GARUT - The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of Garut Regency, West Java stated that all general election participants (elections) while filling out open campaign activities should not install their campaign props by putting them on trees. If found, it will be brought under control in accordance with applicable regulations.

"Install them in trees, in educational institutions, at the pillars of PLN, government-owned buildings are not allowed," said Garut Regency Bawaslu Chairman Ahmad Nurul Syahid, Sunday, November 26.

He said that from 28 November 2023 to 10 February 2024, the KPU set an open campaign schedule, which means that all participants of presidential and vice presidential and legislative candidates and DPDs are conducting campaigns, one of which is installing their respective campaign props.

Garut Bawaslu, he said, made an appeal and reminded all participants of the 2024 General Election to comply with regulations in implementing campaign props in accordance with the rules to maintain order, comfort, and beauty.

He explained that based on Law Number 7 of 2017 and KPU Regulation Number 15 of 2023, there are several campaign methods that election participants can do, one of which is the distribution and installation of campaign props.

"In the installation of campaign props, we appeal to all election participants to be adjusted to the zoning issued by the local government, and determined by the KPU as a zoning for the installation of campaign props," he said.

He hopes that all election participants will not only comply with the installation of campaign props, but also pay attention to the installation zone which must comply with local government regulations.

If in the field is found to have violated the rules, he said, then the Garut Bawaslu will provide recommendations to the Civil Service Police Unit so that the campaign props are immediately brought under control.

"That must be put in order, coordinating with Satpol PP, but we also need the role of the community to jointly supervise," he said.

He added that the Garut Bawaslu and the sub-district election supervisory committee together with the Garut Satpol PP had previously controlled all campaign props that violated regional regulations.

"Yesterday's campaign props have been brought under control, especially on the protocol road, but those with socialization props are not brought under control, they are still allowed, if the campaign is disciplined," he said.
