Box of ballots found in Kendal

SEMARANG: A cardboard box containing 500 sheets of ballot
papers was found on Jl. Sepetek in Kendal, Central Java.

The box was discovered by a resident of Kertosari subdistrict,
Singorojo, at dawn on Sunday and was reported to a nearby police
post on Wednesday.

Kendal Post Office head Toto separately admitted that one box
had fallen from a pick-up truck while postmen were distributing
ballot papers in the regency. He explained that the postmen had
begun distributing some 450 boxes of ballot papers since March 19
to areas throughout Kendal regency.

"The boxes were tied together with rope, but one of them fell
from the car. This was purely an accident," said Toto. -- JP
