JAKARTA: The General Elections Supervisory Committee
(Panwaslu) and National Police signed on Monday a Memorandum of
Understanding over the establishment of district election
supervisory bodies.

Committee deputy chairman Saut Sirait said both parties had
agreed to select local police officers as district supervisors.

"We are running out of time as all general election
supervisory committees across the country must be established
before June 11," Saut told reporters.

The supervisory committee consists of six members elected from
the community and three members from the police and Attorney
General's Office. The line-up applies to the supervisory
committee in lower administrative levels.

the supervisory committee. -- JP
