In accordance with the mandate of Law Number 7 of\n2017, continuous voter data updating is our duty.

The national recapitulation indeed has no\nnotes, but our colleagues from Bawaslu conveyed several findings at the\ndistrict and provincial levels. We will immediately respond and confirm\nthem, including whether there are regions that have not submitted data,\"\nhe said.
