KPUD holds campaigns in 267 areas

JAKARTA: After its successful educational campaigns in malls
in the capital, the Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPUD)
began to hold similar events in 267 subdistrict offices on
Saturday.

"Our targets are civilians, workers and professionals," said
commission member Juri Ardiantoro.

Juri said the commission had already staged campaigns for
around one million first-time voters of a total of 6.4 eligible
voters in the capital.

More than 145 million eligible voters will flock to polling
stations on April 5 to elect legislators. While the first direct
presidential election will be on July 5, with a possible runoff
on Sept. 20. -- Antara
