JAKARTA - The General Elections Commission (KPU) has temporarily disabled or temporarily suspended seven members of the Kuala Lumpur Foreign Election Committee (PPLN), Malaysia.
KPU chairman Hasyim Asy'ari said the deactivation was related to problems in collecting voter data which resulted in the re-voting of postal methods and mobile ballot boxes (KSK) having to be repeated.
"We have temporarily disabled or suspended seven PPLN members because there are problems in election management in Kuala Lumpur," said Hasyim as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, February 26.
He explained that the re-voting in Kuala Lumpur would be taken over by the Indonesian KPU. Later there will also be several members who will be assigned to Kuala Lumpur.
"Then supported by the general secretariat team. God willing, we will coordinate with the representative office in Kuala Lumpur," he said.
According to him, the KPU's move to hold a re-voting in Kuala Lumpur was to update voter data. This is because, in the process of collecting voter list data in 2023, out of a total of 490 thousand voters who should have been matched and researched (coklit), approximately only 12 percent of voters were carried out by the brown.

Hasyim said the problem in the bankruptcy process was because of the address of the voters. He said only about 62 thousand whose address could be recognized.
"We are investigating. We can't confirm yet, but around this, 497 thousand are DP4, population data for potential voters," explained Hasyim.
"And then checked whose address was recognized, it was around 62 thousand and the other was not recognized. Why? 'KL, Malaysia' just like that," he continued.
Therefore, he said, the KPU would be more thorough in updating voter data. He does not deny that updating of voter data in Kuala Lumpur will experience a drastic decline.
"Because there is a change in the voter list, the number of voters and then there is a change in the voter method for the PSU, later we will also hold an open plenary meeting to recapitulate the determination of the voter list first," said Hasyim.
