JAKARTA - The Director General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) Zudan Arif Fakrulloh said the recording of electronic KTP (e-KTP) for voters in the 2020 Pilkada which was carried out ahead of voting day has reached 99.71 percent.

During the past month, the total recording of e-KTP in 309 districts / cities has reached 100,072,129 residents or as much as 99.71 percent of the total number of permanent voter lists (DPT) of 100,359,152 voters.

"In 2020, this is the highest recording record in the last 4 elections," Zudan said in his statement, Wednesday, December 9.

Zudan explained, in the regional head elections in 2015, the coverage of voter e-KTP recording reached 82 percent, in 2017 it rose to 93 percent, in 2018 it was 97 percent, and in the 2020 regional elections it was at the level of 99.71 percent.

Meanwhile, the remaining 0.29 percent or 287,023 voters have not recorded their data from residents registered in the DPT.
