SURABAYA, East Java: The East Java chapter of the Indonesian
Democratic Party (PDI) has said that they will accept around
5,000 youths to act as vote-counting witnesses in the coming
general elections in 1997.

"Basically we agree with the plan, but for a better prepared
operation, we will first discuss the plan with the Central Board
of Council," Imam Soeroso, chief of PDI regional chapter, told
Antara yesterday.

Imam said that the presence of witnesses at vote counts is a
prerequisite to ensure voter confidentiality in line with the
principles of free elections.(03)
