        "summary": "Indonesia's Bali KPU has begun synchronising overseas-sent election data from the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) to prevent duplicates or errors. The exercise will audit data on a case-by-case basis and rely on a de jure, address-based matching, with sampling due to budget constraints. It also includes simulations of electoral district (dapil) delineation in line with current court rulings and population data, with April public consultations planned with regional governments and political parties.",
        "content": "<p>The General Elections Commission (KPU) Bali has begun synchronising\nelection data transmitted from abroad by the Embassy of the Republic of\nIndonesia (KBRI). This effort is intended to ensure that the election\ndata entering the system is free from duplicates or errors. Bali KPU\nchairman I Dewa Agung Gede Lidartawan explained the synchronisation is\nbeing carried out to monitor data received from the KBRI on a\ncase-by-case basis and to evaluate whether local officers have performed\ndata matching and verification. \u201cWe are checking the data sent by the\nKBRI, to what extent our colleagues have completed the matching. Today\nwe are asking, item by item, what has been done and the obstacles\nencountered,\u201d said Lidartawan after the Continuing Voter Data Updating\nCoordination Meeting at the Bali KPU, on Friday (6 March 2026).\nLidartawan explained that the synchronisation process aims to eliminate\nduplicate data. To minimise recurring duplicates, the KPU is currently\nadopting a de jure approach\u2014based on the address on the national\nidentity card (KTP). \u201cIf there are duplicate data, the reference is the\naddress on the KTP. For example, if the KTP is in Denpasar, the data\nbelongs to Denpasar\u2019s election; elsewhere the status would be\nineligible,\u201d he said. However, due to budget constraints, the data\nmatching process cannot be applied to all data as before, but only to a\nsubset. As a result, matching and verification are limited by a sampling\nsystem. \u201cWe have encouraged the Bawaslu colleagues to participate from\nthe outset. So if there are findings, they can be corrected before the\ndata is established,\u201d Lidartawan said. Review of electoral district\ndelineation. In addition to checking election data, Bali\u2019s KPU is also\nconducting simulations of electoral district delineation (dapil) for the\nupcoming elections. This is done in accordance with the Supreme Court\n(MK) ruling that governs the establishment of KPU\u2019s dapil. Referring to\nprovisional population data, Lidartawan said there is a strong\nlikelihood of changes in the number of provincial DPRD seats in several\nareas. \u201cLooking at the first half of 2025 population data, there is\npotential for Buleleng to lose two seats in the provincial DPRD,\u201d he\nsaid. According to Lidartawan, those seats could move to areas with\nhigher population growth, such as Denpasar and Badung. In addition, the\nKPU is examining the possibility of merging dapil in areas where the\nnumber of seats does not meet the minimum threshold of three seats.\n\u201cThis remains a potential. We have only begun calculating the\npossibilities based on population data. The plan is to start publicising\nthe dapil arrangement to local governments and political parties in\nApril,\u201d Lidartawan said.<\/p>",
