Chairman of the General Elections Commission (KPU) Hasyim Asy'ari revealed that his party already has a number of strategies to anticipate potential fraud during the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) using the vote count information system (situng).
This is a response related to the statement of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD who said fraud in every election must occur, either past or future.
"If that's the case from time to time, yes, for example the 2019 General Election, the KPU will create a situation and later we will convert it into a vote result recapitulation information system that we have practiced in the 2020 Pilkada and later we will adopt it in the 2024 General Election," said Hasyim as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 24.
Situng is the development in the first C1 scan to be applied in the 2014 General Election, namely officers at the TPS "scan" C1 and uploaded" to the KPU website for publication in tabulation.
"The KPU also verifies whether the calculation is correct or not. If there are allegations, 'The calculation is not true, how come it is published?' Indeed, we publish what it is. If it is wrong, so that the public also knows that there is a wrong count," he said.
Even so, Hasyim reminded that this wrong calculation was known by the Central KPU. Then, they will send the results back to the district/city KPU where the C1 form from the TPS came from for correcting.
Not only that, he said, the KPU invited anyone to see, take photos, or record the vote counting process at the polling station which was held openly. Later, witnesses will be assigned from the election participants to the supervisory committee for each polling station.
"So it was done openly. If there are allegations of manipulation, it must be known by many people," said Hasyim.

If there are complaints, for example at the district level, his party will make corrections based on Election Law Number 7 of 2017, namely checking the results of one level below. He will prohibit the district/city KPU and the Indonesian KPU from bringing complaints about the recapitulation directly to the Constitutional Court (MK).
"The KPU made a policy to prohibit district/city KPU, when the provincial KPU recapitulated there were objection complaints. Then he said that 'You are not satisfied with bringing it to the Constitutional Court'. We forbid it," he added.
Because, he explained, it is still in the scope and responsibility of the KPU. For that, this problem should not be thrown into other institutions.
