JAKARTA - The General Elections Commission (KPU) said the ballot boxes to be used in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) will continue to use cardboard like the 2019 election. This decision was taken due to efficiency factors.
"It's still being used, I'm sure it's still being used," said KPU chairman Hasyim Ashari at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 18.
Boxes made of cardboard, continued Hasyim, were easier to assemble and disassemble. In addition, this material can save state spending.
Not only that, boxes made of cardboard material will not cause the desire to commit theft.
"Because the aluminum material is cheesy in Javanese, it encourages people to help, because it has economic value," he stressed. Because, the KPU will look for materials that are guaranteed to be waterproof.
He also made sure the cardboard box would stay safe. The ballots in it must also be protected so that it cannot be rigged.
"If it's a matter of security guarantee, it's clear, the box is sealed with a tis cable, then all supervisors or monitors are policemen," he said.
"So when it comes to security and all kinds of things, it's up to each of us to secure our own ballot boxes," concluded Hasyim.
