MUARA TEWEH - A total of 647 people who have died in North Barito, Central Kalimantan (Central Kalimantan) are still registered by voters for the 2024 General Election. The validation of voters continues to be carried out to kill the number of voters in the 2024 General Election.
Member of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of North Barito Regency, Latifah Tri Rahayu, revealed that as many as 647 people who had died were still registered when panteranglih made a match and research (coklit) for voter data for the 2024 General Election.
"The findings were during the coklit from February 12 to 19, as well as a picking test from February 20 to March 14, 2023," said Latifah Tri Rahayu, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, March 13.
According to him, from the results of the picking test conducted by the Panwaslu in nine sub-districts throughout North Barito, several problems such as people dying were included in the voter list. Residents do not want to be bulked for reasons of not getting direct cash assistance (BLT).
Latifah mentioned that there is a house that has not been affixed with a voter data collection sticker, it was found that residents were not local residents, then there was also one double name NIK.
Meanwhile, Bawaslu member of Central Kalimantan Province Winsi Kuhu said that Bawaslu carried out their duties in accordance with regulations related to the stages of voting data brown.
Winsi has not denied that since the 1999 election voter data has left problems so there needs to be improvements in every election.
"There must be synchronization of voter data so that the constitutional rights of citizens are guaranteed. We prepare accurate voter data, including accommodating residents outside Central Kalimantan," he said.
Regarding the validation and accuracy of the data, the election organizers will cross out the names that have died. However, without the death certificate, the name is still in the database.
North Barito Regency KPU member Siska explained that his party initially received synchronization data from the KPU from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
"We found that the name was still recorded, even though the person concerned had died," said Siska.
In this election, he said, data updating is de jure, meaning that there is no administrative evidence, so you cannot cross out someone's data arbitrarily.
"Pawan-kawan parntarlih cannot cross out or make TMS (not eligible). It can be crossed out, as long as there is information of death from village officials or death certificates from the Dukcapil office," he said again.
Thus, a person has double data, is underage, or has TNI/Polri status, said Siska, there must be written evidence or administrative evidence.
Head of Information Management of Population Administration and Data Utilization of the Population and Civil Registration Office of North Barito Hendra Erwitasyah confirmed that death data is a classic problem.
"As long as the heirs or families do not report, we cannot delete the NIK. We ask the village head/sub-district head to collect data. However, residents often feel that they have no interest in the death certificate. Usually only civil servants report deaths," said Hendra.
