SOLO - The Surakarta City Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has stopped the reporting process for the distribution of free internet vouchers allegedly carried out by candidate pairs number 03, Ganjar Pranowo, at the Car Free Day (CFD) event Solo, Central Java, because they are considered not to have fulfilled the element of violation.

The alleged incident that was reported occurred at CFD Solo, on December 24, 2023. In the narrative presented by the reporter, it was stated that the reported party together with its volunteers distributed free internet vouchers to the people in the CFD area, said the Head of Bawaslu Surakarta City, Budi Wahyono, in Solo, Wednesday.

"Bawaslu responded to this, and has followed up on his report," said Budi Wahyono as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 17.

Based on the initial study conducted by Bawaslu, the material requirements submitted by the reporter were deemed not to have fulfilled the element of violation as intended. Because, there is no specific evidence showing the reported or Ganjar Pranowo, distributing free internet vouchers and campaigning at the scene.

"On this consideration, Bawaslu then asked the reporter to complete it, but until the deadline was conveyed, it turned out that the reporter had not yet completed it," he said.

Because, it is considered that it does not fulfill the elements of violation or material requirements of the reporter, he continued, the case cannot be continued or registered.

The same thing was also conveyed by the Coordinator of the Division (Kordiv) for Handling Violations and Information Data (Datin) Bawaslu Surakarta City, Poppy Kusuma Nataliza, that reports of alleged violations related to vouchers committed by presidential candidates number 3, did not proceed to the registration stage.

This, he said, was because the reporter, namely the Chairman of the People Cares for Democracy, Indra Wiyana, did not send any shortcomings in the material requirements requested by Bawaslu.

"The report repair deadline, on Tuesday (16/1), until 16.00 WIB and the reporter did not improve the material requirements in the report. So the report cannot be continued," he said.
