JAKARTA - The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of North Jakarta did not find any violations of the implementation of further voting (PSL) at 19 polling stations (TPS) in the area on Saturday. According to North Jakarta Bawaslu Member, Yapto Sendra, the implementation of PSL went smoothly, and the level of voter participation was fairly high. "However, these constraints were successfully resolved quickly. It is known that as many as 100 DPRD ballots from different electoral districts (dapil) have been entered into the polling station and submitted by 18 voters. As a follow-up, Bawaslu asked the General Election Commission (KPU) to withdraw all ballot letters that had been entered into the ballot box. "All ballots have been entered into the sealed and declared invalid ballot box," he explained. Then, the KPU was asked to make news of the event related to the incident. Meanwhile, Bawaslu asked the KPU to replace the 100 ballots that had been entered into the ballot box and invited 18 voters who had voted to return to vote back.

"Within half an hour, new ballots were successfully prepared, and voters again gave their votes. We are grateful that the problem has been handled properly," he added. Previously, the North Jakarta KPU had held PSL at 19 polling stations in the North Jakarta area, with the addition of one more TPS compared to the previous one.
