Eight people register as poll observers

SEMARANG: Although the General Elections Commission (KPU) opened
the registration process for poll observers in Central Java last
month, only eight people have taken registration forms, a poll
official said on Monday.

Hasyim Asyari said the eight included representatives of the
Communication Forum for Young Indonesian Lawyers, Social
Foundation of Independent Workers and the KPU Watch.

Of the eight, only one has returned the completed registration
form. Poll observers will be allowed to observe the elections in
Central Java.

Registration will be closed in early March. -- JP
