JAKARTA - Member of Commission A DPRD DKI Jakarta Syarifudin reminded the DKI Provincial Government to be careful with the implementation of the ID card deactivation of Jakarta residents who now live outside the region. The reason is, the General Election Commission (KPU) will hold a simultaneous 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) with the voting day on 27 November. Meanwhile, the stages of updating and preparation of the voter list are scheduled for 31 May to 23 September 2024. "I think that in order to face the Pilkada the time is getting closer, yes. This is also the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government must be careful if it disables or kills the NIK of Jakarta residents," said Syafrudin in his statement, Tuesday, 19 March. Syafrudin asked the DKI Provincial Government to ensure that the elimination of the NIK is only targeting residents who no longer live in Jakarta. Because, if the target is wrong, it can harm residents who have the right to choose a regional head because they are removed from the permanent voter list (DPT). Don't harm too. I as a resident of Jakarta, the Betawi people, don't let the Betawi be harmed. This removal of the benefits really need to be there," he stressed. Currently, the DKI Provincial Government still urges residents to obey the control of population administration in line with the plan to deactivate the NIK of residents with DKI KTP residents who no longer live in Jakarta. Initially, the vaccination of NIK will be carried out in March 2024. However, this implementation will be postponed because there are still stages of the 2024 General Election and Pilkada. This decision refers to the recommendations of Commission A DPRD Jakarta, which views that the DKI residents's NIK inactivation will start to be carried out after the election event. "We respect the recommendation of Commission A (DPRD DKI Jakarta DKI Jakarta) yesterday. At the time we socialized in the DPRD, Commission A's recommendation asked for implementation to be carried out after the election," said the Head of the Population and Civil Registration Service Agency (Disducid) DKI Jakarta Budi Awaluddin.

Then, the deactivation of the NIK also targets residents who are recorded to still live in RTs that have been deleted due to eviction or relocation of settlements. "There are 81 thousand who died, 13 thousand whose RTs were abolished. Starting April, we will disable 20 thousand NIK first. We will gradually do it every month," explained Budi.
