Poll committees withhold voter data

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Five district poll committees are withholding voter registration data pending payment by the West Lombok General Elections Commission (KPUD).

Hasanain Juaini, chairman of the West Lombok KPUD, said the KPUD understood the demand and promised the commission would disburse the money as soon as it was received from the West Lombok regency government.

The poll committees, which have registered thousands of voters in their five districts, are owed Rp 500 for each of the registered voters. -- JP
