BOGOR - Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) of Bogor Regency, Ummi Wahyuni, said the number of voters in Bogor Regency increased to reach 500 thousand people in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu).

Ummi said the addition of voters was due to novice voters or people who were old enough to choose, retired TNI-Polri and new residents in Bogor Regency.

"This is in accordance with what was previously mentioned by the KCD (Office Office Office Office Office Office Office), there will be 220 thousand potential new voters in Bogor in the 2024 General Election," said Ummi, Monday, May 22.

Apart from the students, the increasing number of voters in Bogor Regency, continued Ummi, was due to the fact that many TNI-Polri had entered retirement. So that the number of voters in Bogor Regency rose quite significantly.

Ummi also mentioned the 2024 Permanent Voter List (DPT) channel, his party received a List of Potential Voters (DP4) from the Indonesian KPU which was previously given by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The flow, continued Ummi, is different from the 2014 General Election where the Bogor Regency KPU received DP4 from Disdukcapil.

"DP4 in Bogor Regency has a potential for voters to reach 3.9 million, then we send them to the panterpih officers to carry out an evaporation. Until finally we set 3,894,914 Voters List while Repair Results (DPSHP). So there is an increase of around 500 thousand people when compared to the DPT in the 2019 election, namely 3,462,722 people," he explained.

Not only the number of voters, Ummi said that in the 2024 General Election, his party also increased the number of polling stations (TPS) to 15,224 spread across 432 villages/kelurahan in 40 sub-districts.
