KARAWANG - The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of Karawang Regency, West Java, found allegations of a shift in votes obtained by candidates for legislative members (caleg) in Cikampek District.

Head of the Karawang Regency Bawaslu Engkus Kusnadi said there were thousands of difference in the number of votes in three villages, Cikampek District.

The difference in votes that reached more than 1,000, according to him, was caused by the shift in votes between parties and certain legislative candidates.

So that the vote acquisition, said Kusnadi, must be pocketed by the candidate that should be. This means that it is very important to return the vote to the owner in the event of a shift in votes.

"There should be no shift in votes because it can harm the votes of legislative candidates," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 28.

Based on these findings, his party provided corrective suggestions related to vote savings in the recapitulation of vote count results.

"This extortion is to protect the votes of legislative candidates who may feel aggrieved. The votes they have must be returned properly," said Kusnadi.

The alleged shift in votes from one candidate to another also occurred in Pakisjaya District.

The alleged fraud was discovered after there was a difference between C Plano and model D that occurred in three villages in Pakisjaya District, namely Tegal Jaya Village, Tanah Baru Village, and Tanjung Mekar Village.

It was found that there was a transfer of votes from candidates for legislative members from the Democratic Party from serial number 2 to serial number 5. This condition occurred in every polling station where the vote count results finally did not match the results of C1 A Plano and C1 Copy.
