The Head of the Legal and Supervision Division of the East Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU), Rio Verieza, explained that the Chairman of KPPS and Pamsung at Polling Station 028 Pinang Ranti, East Jakarta was not affiliated with any candidate pairs. This was conveyed after an examination of the two perpetrators was carried out with the East Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU).

"The results of the examination, the pamsung or the order officer who voted for one of the Paslons said there was no direction (from certain parties). However, he only received directions to vote on 19 ballots by the Chairman of the KPPS at Pols 028," said the Head of the Legal and Supervision Division of the East Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPU), Rio Verieza to VOI, Friday, November 29.

Rio explained that the chairman of the KPPS directed Pamsung to vote for 19 Pilkada ballots.

"So the chairman of the KPPS only directed to vote, the reason for increasing participation," he said.

The fraud at the stage of voting for 19 ballots can only stop after being caught by TPS officers.

"There was one ballot that had been cast and entered into the ballot box, according to the KPPS officer's confession. But when he wanted to continue (entering ballots, candidate pair number 3) it turned out that he had been caught with officers (Bawaslu). So it was thwarted. There was an experiment? Yes. But it was thwarted," he said.

As is known, the election fraud at Pols 028 Pinang Ranti was recorded by amateur video and was widely circulated on social media. The incident also caused a commotion in the community.

In the amateur video footage, it appears that a number of people show that ballots from the East Jakarta KPU have been cast for the Candidate Pair for Governor and Deputy Governor of Jakarta Number 3 Pramono Anung-Rano Karno.
