TEMPO.CO, Jakarta -
Chairman of the Election Supervisory Committee (Bawaslu), Muhammad,
yesterday said that Bawaslu had recommended a re-vote in several
regencies and polling stations (TPS) in four provinces: North Maluku,
Yogyakarta, West Java and Southeast Sulawesi.
However, Muhammad said the re-vote may not disrupt the ongoing vote-counting process.
"All votes must be counted at the district level on Sunday, July 13 [today] at the latest," Muhammad said.
In two regencies, Morotai and Halmahera Tengah, in North Maluku province, Polling Station Working Committee (KPPS) officers distributed ballot papers to two witnesses after the voting ended and since it was considered to be done in a massive scale, Muhammad said, the local General Election Commission (KPU) was ordered to conduct a re-vote.
In Yogyakarta, Bawaslu found one polling station that has votes with the margin of two votes bigger than the number of registered voters. Bawaslu also directly recommended re-vote at the polling station.
"We still tolerate if it's only a margin of one vote," he said.
In a polling station in Indramayu, West Java, Bawaslu also found someone casting his ballot more than once. It turned out that the KPPS officer allowed the voter to cast votes representing their siblings.
"The similar case was found in TPS 37, 38, 39, and 40 [in the city]," Muhammad said.
Meanwhile in Southeast Sulawesi, Bawaslu found a KPPS officer who wrote around 200 names of eligible voters on the ballot papers. The KPPS officer claimed that it was too make the voting process easier, said Muhammad.
"However, it violated the principle of confidentiality," he added.
