The General Election Commission (KPU) of West Sumatra Province (West Sumatra) ensures that the distribution of re-voting logistics (PSU) to disaster-affected areas in Nagari (Village) Singgalang, Tanah Datar Regency arrives on time or before the collection is carried out on July 13, 2024.

"The KPU has coordinated with various parties including the Road Hall and related parties to grant permits for logistics distribution to areas affected by the disaster," said West Sumatra Provincial KPU Commissioner Ory Sativa Syakban in Padang, Friday.

Ory Sativa explained that prior to the implementation of the PSU for prospective members of the DPD RI, there was a polling station (TPS) around Nagari Singgalang, Tanah Datar Regency whose main access was cut off due to being hit by flash floods on May 11, 2024.

He said his party ensured that 252 voters at TPS 01 Nagari Singgalang could channel their political rights through the Anai Valley route which is currently being worked on by Balan Jalan.

"We make sure voters can give their voting rights since 07.00 WIB," he said.

On that occasion, Ory said the distribution of logistics to disadvantaged, frontier and outermost (3T) areas such as Mentawai Islands Regency and Nagari Garabak Data, Solok Regency was also running according to the delivery schedule.

"Since two days ago, we have sent the logistics from the KPU warehouses to each area to the sub-district," he said.

In addition to logistics, he said, the West Sumatra KPU also ensured that the availability of the budget for the implementation of PSU candidates for DPD RI members for each member of the voting organizing group (KPPS) had also been sent.

"So, God willing, tomorrow, July 13, 2024 PSU DPD RI, we can hold it because everything is still on the track," he said.

Separately, the Governor of West Sumatra Mahyeldi issued a circular urging all to vote on the PSU for the election of members of the DPD RI on Saturday, July 13.

Circular Letter of the Governor of West Sumatra Number 6 of 2024 concerning the implementation of PSU members of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) of the Republic of Indonesia in West Sumatra Province dated July 8, 2024, aims to support the successful implementation of the DPD RI PSU in the province.
