75 percent of nomination papers returned

POSO, Central Sulawesi: Poso regency's General Elections Commission (KPU) has returned 75 percent of nomination papers filed by legislative candidates because they were incomplete.

Local KPU chairman Yasin Mangun said many candidates failed to attach school diplomas to their nomination papers or failed to include a letter showing where they lived.

The candidates would have until Jan. 19 to complete their nomination papers, Yasin said.

If they failed to return them complete and on time, their nominations would be rejected. -- JP
