DOC VOI

JAKARTA - Member of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Idham Holik ensured that the process of calculating and recapitulating the votes from the 2024 Simultaneous General Elections (Pemilu), which was carried out manually and in stages, was safe from hacking (hack).

"So the authentication of vote count results and recapitulation is carried out manually, not digitally," said Idham as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, December 2.

Election vote counting and recapitulation have been regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. In the law, said Idham, the recapitulation of votes is carried out manually and in stages, starting from polling stations (TPS) to nationally.

"Law Number 7 of 2017 does not regulate the use of electronic technology specifically," said Idham.

Although the KPU uses the Recapitulation Information System (Sirekap), Idham said the system only aims as a tool so that the public knows the estimated results first and is not used as official results.

"We must fulfill the fulfillment of public information related to the collection, calculation, and recapitulation of the results of the 2024 General Election," he explained.

Meanwhile, the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) has carried out digital forensics as a step to handle the alleged data leak case experienced by the KPU.

BSSN did that to find the cause of the alleged data leak.

"In handling cyber incidents that occurred at the KPU, BSSN is conducting digital analysis and forensics in terms of applications and servers to find out the Cousiot from cyber incidents that occurred," said BSSN spokesman Ariandi Putra.

Regarding the follow-up to the handling of the alleged data leak, the KPU will directly convey it as the owner of the related electronic system.

Previously, the alleged leak of voter data at the KPU occurred after an anonymous hacker named "Jimbo" claimed to have hacked the KPU website and accessed voter data from the site.

The account shares 500 thousand example data in one upload on the BreachForums site. The site is usually used to sell hacked data.
