        "summary": "Indonesia's Election Organiser Ethics Council (DKPP) has dismissed 67 officials from the KPU and Bawaslu throughout 2025-2026 for violating the electoral ethics code. The offences ranged from sexual misconduct and vote manipulation to external matters such as unpaid debts. The council has emphasised the need for intensified, ongoing ethics training to prevent a recurrence ahead of future elections.",
        "content": "<p>The Chairperson of the Indonesian Election Organisers Ethics Council\n(DKPP), Heddy Lugito, revealed that 67 election organisers have been\ndismissed throughout 2025 and 2026 after being proven to have violated\nthe Election Organisers Code of Ethics (KEPP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 67 individuals from the KPU and Bawaslu who have been\ndishonourably dismissed or permanently removed. This includes\nchairpersons of the KPU and Bawaslar in regional areas,\u201d Heddy Lugito\ntold reporters during a capacity-building event for the Regional\nExamination Team (TPD) in West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, on\nTuesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, these election organisers were dismissed due to\ninvolvement in various violations, ranging from cases of sexual\nmisconduct and vote manipulation during election stages to\nnon-election-related issues such as debt-related disputes.<\/p>\n<p>He cited recent examples where the DKPP dismissed two members of the\nKPU in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency due to sexual misconduct cases, as\nwell as a Bawaslu chairperson in Southwest Papua for being proven to\nhold dual positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis number is very large, considering the DKPP consists of only\nseven members,\u201d Heddy remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the number of complaints from West Nusa Tenggara, he noted\nthat they were relatively low compared to other regions; however, the\nsubstance of the complaints received still requires serious\nhandling.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent the recurrence of similar violations, Heddy believes that\nelection organisers need to strengthen their understanding of the code\nof ethics and the potential risks that may arise during the execution of\ntheir duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DKPP is conducting socialisation for election organisers. We are\nalso visiting universities because many thinkers and bastions of\ndemocracy originate from academic environments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Heddy expressed hope that socialisation regarding the code of ethics\nfor election organisers can be conducted more intensively and\nsustainably.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn doing so, ethical violations can be suppressed, and the number of\ncases submitted to the DKPP will not be as high as during the 2024\nGeneral Election,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
