West Kalimantan Province Bawaslu (West Kalimantan) found 1,614 cases of non-compliance with procedures in the process of matching and research (coklit) voter data for the 2024 Pilkada.

"These findings are spread across 12 regencies/cities, highlighting various problems in the implementation of the bulk," said West Kalimantan Province Bawaslu Commissioner, Yosef Harry Suyadi, in Pontianak, Thursday, July 25, as reported by Antara.

He explained that these findings included various violations, such as stickers that were not properly pasted, unknown voters, and Voter Data Update Officers (Panterih) who did not use official attributes while on duty.

Sanggau Regency recorded the highest number of cases with 626 findings. The most common cases are voters who have died but are still listed on the voter list.

"There is also Pantarlih who uses his son's jockey," he said.

In Kubu Raya Regency, Bawaslu found 39 names of voters who had died but had not been crossed out from the voter list.

Meanwhile, in Ketapang Regency, there were 340 findings during the bankruptcy period, including data on double voters and voters who had moved domicile but were still registered at the original TPS.

"This is a very significant number of findings and shows the need for an increase in the UK procedure," said Yosef.

Previously, the Pontianak City Bawaslu also reported 131 cases of non-compliance in the bankruptcy process. Several prominent cases, including three heads of families who have not been hacked but whose homes have been affixed with stickers, 27 heads of families who have been hacked but have not been affixed with stickers, and one member of the Pantarlih who has been proven to be members of a political party.

In addition, one Peteranglih did not carry out the bankruptcy directly and 37 Partanlih did not have a Decree (SK) while on duty.

"We have provided recommendations for improvement to the KPU which are not in accordance with the procedure and that has been done," said Pontianak City Bawaslu Commissioner AH Muzammil.

With various efforts made, Bawaslu hopes to improve the quality of voter data for the implementation of more accurate and transparent Pilkada in West Kalimantan.

"This finding confirms the need for increased supervision and compliance with the bankruptcy procedure to ensure valid and reliable voter data," he said.
