BOGOR - The Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) of Bogor Regency, West Java, hopes that citizens' participation is more than just coming to the polling station (TPS) in the 2024 Election.

"Participation does not only come to polling stations, but more than that. We invite the public to be involved in general how the stages of the election begin," said Head of the Bogor Regency Bawaslu, Irfan Firmansyah during the socialization of participatory supervision in Cibinong, Bogor Regency, Antara, Friday, May 20. .

In the socialization entitled 'Consolidation of the Democratic Community in Facing the 2024 Election', Irfan said that the owner of the highest sovereignty in democracy is the community, so it is necessary to be involved in every stage of the election.

He also explained several stages and issues of the election that must be monitored together during the socialization which was attended by representatives of the media, youth organizations (OKP), and students.

"The community does not only have the right to vote. But substantially they must participate from the initial stages, starting from the party verification process," said Irfan.

The Coordinator of Supervision and Inter-Institutional Relations of the Bogor Regency Bawaslu, Burhanudin, explained a number of challenges in the upcoming elections. These include identity politics, political dowries, as well as the involvement of the state civil apparatus (ASN).

According to him, the practical politics of ASN during the election momentum often occurs based on the desire for an instant career in the agency where he works.

"There are ASNs who are straight in carrying out their duties, there are ASNs who are political. This is prone to happen. Because when ASN is politicized, in the context of Pilkada, there are efforts to use the state budget," said Burhan.

He said that other issues that needed public participation were the alignments of Bawaslu and the General Elections Commission (KPU).

"Why do I say this, because this requires the participation of friends so that Bawaslu is also monitored. The public must also supervise us as organizers. So that the election results will have strong quality and legitimacy," he said.
