SERANG - The General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia noted that voter participation in the implementation of the re-voting (PSU) which was held in nine regions on April 19, 2025 experienced a significant decline compared to the simultaneous vote on November 27, 2024.
"The decline in participation ranged from 4'6 percent compared to the previous election," said RI KPU member Iffa Rosita after monitoring the recapitulation of the PSU vote at the Serang Regency level, Antara, Thursday, April 24.
According to Iffa, reduced enthusiasm was caused by atmospheric differences and community time commitments.
"During simultaneous elections, the euphoria is high. But in this PSU, many residents cannot leave their jobs even though there is already a holiday circular from the Minister of Home Affairs and regional heads," he explained.
The KPU claimed to have carried out maximum socialization. However, a thorough evaluation will still be carried out in order to increase public participation in the future.
Serang Regency is one of 26 cases decided by the Constitutional Court (MK), whose substance is related to the alleged violation of TSM (structured, systematic, and massive).
"We invite all prospective couples to accept the results of graceful determination," said Iffa.
