Bawaslu Reminds Registration Will Be A Legislative Candidate Must Be Supervised By Makasimal

JAKARTA - Member of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) Totok Hariyono reminded election supervisors that the registration of candidates for legislative candidates for the DPR, provincial DPRD, and district/city DPRD for the 2024 election must be monitored optimally.

"The election supervisors monitor it as the implementation of KPU regulations (PKPU) and Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, so supervision at this stage must be maximized," said Totok, in a statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 2.

He conveyed this when attending the virtual Supervision Meeting of the Stages of Candidacy for Members of the DPR, Provincial DPRD, and Regency/City DPRD, Monday (1/5).

Totok conveyed that the philosophy of Bawaslu supervision is the supervision of mutual cooperation so that all elements in Bawaslu should jointly supervise and prevent all stages of the election. Thus, the stages of the election can run in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations.

"Election supervisors must work together in the concept of mutual cooperation to provide the best service for all election participants," said Totok.

Bawaslu also asked the election supervisor to work full-time because the implementation of the 2024 General Election stage did not know weekdays.

Based on the schedule set by the General Elections Commission (KPU), the receipt of registration for candidates for legislative candidates for the DPR, provincial DPRD, and district/city DPRD for the 2024 General Election will be held on May 1-14, 2023.

KPU chairman Hasyim Asy'ari at a press conference on Sunday (30/4), conveyed that the registration of candidates for DPR members for all electoral districts (dapil) would be carried out by the central leadership of political parties by visiting the KPU Office.

Then for prospective candidates for provincial DPRD members, they will be registered by each provincial-level political party management to the respective provincial KPU and prospective district/city DPRD members will be registered by political party officials at the district/city level at their respective district/city KPU offices.

Hasyim reminded that as usual the registration procedure for the previous election stages, the KPU will serve the registration of prospective 2024 election candidates with operating hours at 08.00-16.00 local time for May 1-13, 2023.

"For the last day, May 14, 2023, it will be carried out starting at 08.00-23.59 local time," he said.
