AKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta KPU Data and Information Division, Fahmi Ziryptah, admitted that he would check the findings of the DKI Jakarta General Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) regarding the process of matching and research (coklit) voters in the 2024 Pilkada.

In this case, Bawaslu found that there were voter data updating officers (pantarih) who used jockey services while carrying out the task of cutting to voters' homes.

"Based on the report, we are currently checking downwards regarding the truth of the allegations to be able to clarify in order to get a complete answer," Fahmi told reporters, Tuesday, July 16.

The DKI Jakarta KPU previously inaugurated 29,315 take-aways on Monday, June 26 simultaneously in 267 urban villages. The plenary is spread over 14,775 polling stations throughout DKI Jakarta.

From June 26 to July 24, 2024, panteranglih was deployed to the field to match and research (coklit) data 8,315,669 voters in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada.

They are assigned to go directly to voters from home to validate by checking their electronic ID cards, ensuring that all Jakarta residents who have met the requirements are in the voter list, and cross out those who do not meet the requirements for the upcoming elections.

Dalam proses coklit, Bawaslu DKI Jakarta mendapat sejumlah temuan. Salah satu temuannya adalah terdapat panterlih yang menggunakan jasa jockey untuk melaksanakan tugasnya. Kasus ini ditemukan di Tanjung Priok, Jakarta Utara.

"There are 2 lovers who do not go directly or door to door in Tanjung Priok District," said DKI Jakarta Bawaslu Violation Handling Division Coordinator Benny Sabdo.

In addition, the DKI Bawaslu also found that there were residents who were not yet 17 years old and were not married, but were included in the voter list. The person concerned should not have received his voting rights in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

"In the Thousand Islands Regency, the ranks of the election supervisors found people who were not yet 17 years old and not married in the bulk to become voters, so they were recommended to be crossed out," said Benny.

Then, it was also found that residents' houses had not been hacked but had their stickers attached as markers as voters. There are also residents who have been hacked but not affixed with stickers. Another finding, Bawaslu noted that there were parties who did not have or show SK while on duty.

"For the wrong coklit procedure, today the DKI Bawaslu has written a letter regarding suggestions for improvement to the DKI KPU. If it is not heeded, then we will make it a finding," explained Benny.
