JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN) urges the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) to strictly regulate and closely monitor the quick count (quick count) of the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) considering the widespread public distrust of survey institutions.

Quick count or fast count is the process of counting votes carried out by institutions outside the KPU by using a sample of voting results from a number of polling stations (TPS).

"KPU and Bawaslu must strictly regulate and supervise illegal quickcounts to prevent manipulation of fast count results that can trigger turmoil in the community," said Chairman of the TPN Schedule Team Ganjar-Mahfud, Aria Bima, in an official statement received by Antara in Jakarta, Thursday (7/2).

TPN observed several survey institutions that were simultaneously suspected of carrying out efforts to sway public opinion that the election would be won by only one round by candidate pair number 2.

He stated that narratives such as "02 win one round" or "choose the ones who will definitely win" continue to be echoed systematically and are included in the strategy section affecting people's electoral behavior.

Aria considers the survey methodology to be highly academically debated and proven in some places there are anomalies. For example, in some undecidedvoters (people who hide choice or really don't have a candidate choice) can reach above 80 percent.

He referred to the results of a survey by the Indopol institution which in January 2024 decided not to release the electability level of each pair of vice presidential and vice presidential candidates, because during the survey they faced rejection from respondents.

This is because, among other things, they refuse to be mapped, fear due to intimidation, and trauma because they have never received social assistance due to being respondents.

"We invite all parties to create a conducive political situation and keep people away from political confusion situations that could potentially cause chaos on February 14, 2024," said Aria.
