Poll booths for railway travelers

BANDUNG: People traveling on May 29, election day, need not worry about finding a polling station so long as they travel by train.

State railway company Perumka will set up poll booths in major stations on Java so that "traveling citizens can still channel their aspirations," according to Perumka spokesman Helmy Aziz.

He said the stations of Gambir in Jakarta, Cirebon, Bandung, Purwokerto, Yogyakarta and Surabaya would contain polling booths.

Passengers only have to produce their registration forms to cast their votes at the stations.

"Those who choose to vote in the railway stations need not rush. The company will give them ample time and the trains will not leave without them," Helmy said. (ahy)
