The Bali General Election Commission (KPU) has set three polling stations (TPS) to re-vote (PSU) in Buleleng on Tuesday (20/2).

"For the re-voting, there is an additional TPS that will do it. Yesterday I just submitted TPS 5 and 6 to Pedawa Village because of the exchange of electoral district 3 ballots to enter electoral district/city DPRD levels," said Bali KPU Commissioner I Gede John Darmawan as reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 16.

The Bali General Election Commission (KPU) said that the addition was that the re-voting at TPS 5 of Temukus Village, Buleleng, where on the voting day there were five people who only brought electronic ID cards outside Bali to qualify and were given to vote for president and vice president.

In addition to the addition of TPS undergoing PSU, the Bali KPU also announced changes from the original plan to re-vote on Sunday, February 18, 2024 to Tuesday, February 20, 2024.

John explained that this condition was not due to a lack of re-voting ballots, but other logistics such as forms that were not ready to this day.

"We have actually suggested that the voting process be carried out on holidays or holidays, but to see the readiness of existing logistics because currently they are still in progress for the procurement of the possibility that it will only be fulfilled tomorrow," he said.

For example, the C6 notification form selects, the KPPS on three polling stations states that they are not ready if tomorrow when they arrive they are immediately distributed to residents to come to the polling station the day after tomorrow.

According to the organizers of the notification form choosing is important, this is a solution so that all voter lists (DPT) will be present at the polling station.

Another solution for community participation to remain high is to make an announcement to the company if there is a delay from the special voters at the three polling stations.

John said that later the PSU process would take place like the 2024 General Election which was held simultaneously last Wednesday, starting at 7.00-13.00 WITA on Tuesday.

"For the voting process, the type of election at two polling stations in Pedawa Village is only to choose a district/city DPRD ballot, for TPS 5 Temuskus Village only for the presidential election. So not all ballots will be repeated," he said.

The Bali KPU admitted that it received reports of potential voting outside three polling stations in Buleleng, namely, such as in Gianyar Regency, but until now verification has not yet been made.

To note in Pedawa Village at TPS 5 there were 292 DPT numbers and at TPS 6 there were 273 DPT numbers, while in Temukus Village at TPS 5 there were 248 DPT numbers.
