        "summary": "The Badung Regency General Elections Commission (KPU) has identified 44 deceased individuals who remain listed as members of various political parties. This discovery was made during a comprehensive audit of 1,459 ineligible voter records for the first half of 2026.",
        "content": "<p>The General Elections Commission (KPU) of Badung Regency has\ndiscovered that 44 deceased voters are still recorded as members of\npolitical parties. This finding resulted from an inspection of 1,459\nineligible voter (TMS) records during the first semester of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found 44 deceased voters still listed in political party\nmemberships out of the total 1,459 ineligible records examined. This\nstep was taken to ensure all electoral data remains accurate and\nup-to-date,\u201d said the Chairman of Badung KPU, I Gusti Ketut Gede Yusa\nArsana Putra, on Sunday (13\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The inspection of ineligible voter data included 1,423 deceased\nvoters and 36 voters with TNI\/Polri (Military\/Police) status. In\ncontrast to the findings regarding deceased voters, Badung KPU found no\nmembers of the TNI\/Polri registered within political parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding voters with TNI\/Polri status, not a single one is recorded\nas a member of a political party. The findings regarding deceased voters\ndo not automatically indicate they are factually still active in a\nparty, but this requires further scrutiny,\u201d said Yusa Arsermna.<\/p>\n<p>The data for the dozens of deceased citizens still registered is\nspread across 18 political parties. Fourteen of these parties\nparticipated in the 2024 General Election, while the other four are\nnon-participating parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will submit these 44 records to each respective political party\nfor follow-up and removal from their membership rolls. We want to ensure\nthat every piece of electoral data can be held accountable for its\nvalidity,\u201d Yusa Arsana stated.<\/p>\n<p>Badung KPU has ensured that the process of updating electoral data\nwill continue sustainably. Changes in voter status, whether due to death\nor joining the TNI\/Polri, must be recorded consistently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis data update is a periodic effort to maintain the quality and\naccuracy of electoral data. We are committed to supporting the conduct\nof orderly and transparent elections,\u201d concluded Yusa Arsana.<\/p>",
