JAKARTA - The General Elections Commission has asked the TNI-Polri to prepare data on their personnel who are about to enter retirement so that they can be updated on the voter list.
"As in our hearing with the TNI Commander and the National Police Chief, there will be members of the TNI and Polri who will retire and will then be counted as voters on February 14, 2024," said KPU chairman Hasyim Asy'ari, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 12.
According to him, TNI-Polri members who enter retirement period before election day on February 14, 2024 will later be updated so that they can exercise their right to vote in the 2024 Election.
"Therefore, we ask the Chief of the National Police, the Commander in Chief to prepare data for members of all levels of all positions which are approximately predictable (TMT) from the date when they leave the position of members of the Indonesian National Police on February 14, 2024 so that they will exercise their right to vote at that time. it," he said.
According to him, the data on TNI-Polri members who will retire will be reported to the Ministry of Home Affairs through the directorate that manages population, not to the KPU.
"We ask that the commander in chief, the National Police Chief, not to the KPU, but to the Minister of Home Affairs who in this case manages population data. We will access the data, get the data sharing from the Minister of Home Affairs," said Hasyim Asy'ari.
Hasyim Asy'ari explained that the implications of the TNI-Polri data would be very possible at the time of updating the voter data, there would be active members of the TNI-Polri.
"So it is very possible that at the time of the screening of the voter list, active TNI-Polri members were still listed due to the updating of the voter list. But the point is that later on February 14, it can also be confirmed that he and he are no longer members of the TNI and Polri," he said.
The same thing, according to Hasyim Asy'ari, also happened to the names of voters who were not yet 17 years old, but their names were also included when updating voter data.
"When updating this list, it is very possible that the names entered are not even 17 years old, but it will be completed before February 14, 2024. So things like this must be understood together to find out the most recent situation in updating the voter list," he said. .
