TANJUNGPINANG - Chairman of the Tanjungpinang City KPU, Riau Islands Province (Kepri) Muhammad Faizal said the wages of sorters and folding simultaneous 2024 Pilkada ballots amounted to Rp200 per sheet.

Faizal said the Tanjungpinang KPU needed about 70 officers to sort and fold 176,639 Pilkada 2024 ballots.

"The ballots are in accordance with the number of permanent voter lists (DPT) of 172,182 people, plus the need for 2.5 percent of ballots for each polling station," said Faizal in Tanjungpinang, Antara, Sunday, October 27.

It targets the sorting and folding process of ballots to take about ten days, starting at the end of October 2024 or early November 2024.

After that, he said, it would be continued with the packing process to distribute ballot logistics to each sub-district.

"We ensure that the distribution of ballots is in accordance with the schedule set by the KPU," he said.

Faizal added that his party immediately recruited people who wanted to become sorting and folding ballots, provided that they were not involved as members or administrators of political parties, let alone being part of the success team of the regional head candidate pair.

He also did not rule out the possibility of sorting and folding ballots in the February 14, 2024 elections, again being summoned to carry out similar tasks in the 2024 Pilkada.

The sorting process and the folding of the 2024 regional election ballots are also easier than the previous election, because there are only two types of ballots, namely for the election of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Tanjungpinang, then the election for the Governor and Deputy Governor of Riau Islands.

"Each ballot consists of two pairs of candidates of the same size," said Faizal.

Faizal added that currently the logistics for the regional election letter for the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Tanjungpinang have arrived 100 percent at the local KPU warehouse.

Meanwhile, the election votes for the Governor and Deputy Governor of Riau Islands are still on their way after being sent from East Java using sea transportation.
