JAKARTA - The National Police said that there were fewer violations in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) compared to 2019. Currently, there are 322 reports and findings of violations.

"In 2024 to today, we have 322 findings. Then 149 study processes, 108 were stopped, and 65 cases were handled by the police," said Head of the Gakkumdu Polri Task Force and Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Djuhandhani Rahardjo Puro to reporters in Bawaslu, Tuesday, February 27.

Of the 65 cases that were forwarded to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police and the Regional Police, most of them had permanent legal force. Then, the rest are still being investigated and the handling has been stopped.

"As for the current 65 cases, 16 cases are still in the process of being investigated, 12 cases have been terminated or at SP3. Then these 37 cases are in stage two and some have been sentenced and signed," he said.

The number of alleged violations of the 2024 General Election is far less. Because, in 2019 there were 849 cases originating from reports and findings.

Of the hundreds of alleged violations, 367 cases were forwarded to the Police and 483 cases were terminated.

"We illustrate that at this time the handling of cases handled by Bawaslu or the police until the investigation process is quite drastically reduced," he said.

Based on the results of the analysis, the decrease in the number of election violations in 2024 was caused by several factors. One of them is due to his shorter campaign period.

"That this case is decreasing, of course, it cannot be separated from all community support. Where we optimize the prevention of violations. The audience and election participants are aware of the law and one of them is a relatively short campaign time," said Djuhandhani.
