"A total of 1,573 people who have not recorded the e-KTP data who will and are 17 years old. These are registered as novice voters in the 2024 simultaneous elections," said the Acting Head of the Population and Civil Registration Office of Mukomuko Regency Abdiyanto in his statement at Mukomuko, Antara , Thursday, July 28.

A total of 133,689 residents in the money area are required to have an e-KTP, as many as 132.116 people or 98 percent of them have recorded e-KTP data, the remaining 1,573 people have not recorded data.

He said officers routinely visit high schools and equivalents in this area to be able to achieve the target of recording e-KTP data up to 100 percent. His party dispatched officers to the equivalent high school to collect e-KTP data for students aged 16 to 17 years.

In addition to dispatching officers to record student e-KTP data to schools, he said, his party provides a "pick-up ball" service to record data for novice voters to sub-districts and villages.

"Students who are 16 years old only take data recording, then these students receive an e-KTP after they are 17 years old, while students who are 17 years old can immediately receive an e-KTP," he also said.

He said that currently the focus is on recording e-KTP data for novice voters in this area because these residents are required to have a resident identity but have not recorded data.

He ensured that his party as soon as possible recorded the e-KTP data for all students aged 16-17 years and residents who were registered as novice voters in this area.
