KPUDs told to use existing logistics

SURABAYA: General Elections Commission (KPU) deputy chairman
Ramlan Surbakti suggested on Thursday that local elections next
year use the logistics of this year's general election.

The government regulation currently being prepared should also
compel local election commissions (KPUDs) to use existing ballot
boxes and polling booths for the sake of efficiency, he said.

As a comparison, Ramlan said the total amount of money taken
from provinces, regencies, and cities in the April legislative
election was calculated as having reached Rp 660 billion.

More then 200 regions are expected to organize local elections
starting in June next year.

He said KPUDs must draft regulations for the implementation of
local elections. - Antara
