"Such as, writing names, photos, legalizing diplomas, health certificates, and others," he added.

In addition, the Bekasi Regency KPU also found data on candidates for doubles internally and externally in the administrative verification stage.

Furthermore, referring to the KPU regulations, every political party is given the opportunity to apply for an repair of the candidate's candidate's file that has not met these requirements until the specified time limit.

If the political party does not meet the intended provisions, namely improving the requirements until July 9, 2023, then the nomination of the candidate will be deemed ineligible.
