Mobile polling booths to operate

SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: The Provincial Elections Committee
here has provided dozens of mobile polling booths to serve voters
in remote areas scattered through seven districts during Monday's
balloting.

Committee chief Hermain Okol told Antara here on Wednesday 34
mobile booths would operate in Bulungan regency, while another 11
would be posted in Balikpapan.

Hermain said the local election committees in the provincial
capital and Berau regency had also reported their need of mobile
booths, but both had yet to inform him of the estimated numbers.

"The mobile polling booths will ensure the elections take
place simultaneously, regardless of difficult terrain in some
parts of the province," Hermain said.

In addition to the mobile booths, a total of 3,507 permanent
voting booths will be built for next week's elections across the
province.
