There are around 100.3 million people who are included in the 2020 Pilkada Permanent Voters List (DPT). Of these, the KPU is targeting a voter turnout rate of 77.5 percent.
This is the first time a democratic party has been held in a pandemic situation. The KPU has also prepared a number of new rules for the implementation of the 2020 Pilkada, which are accompanied by health protocols and prevention of transmission of the corona virus.
For example, every voter must wear a mask and have his body temperature checked first. Members of the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) at the TPS are also required to provide plastic gloves to voters and provide hand washing facilities.
As for Covid-19 patients, they can still use their voting rights. They will be accompanied by officers who come to the place of care or isolation.
