Registered voters drop by 103,000

JAKARTA: Jakarta General Elections Commission (KPUD) Muhamad
Taufik said on Sunday that the number of registered voters for
Monday's presidential election declined by 103,528 to only
6,617,980, while the number of polling stations is reduced by 10
from 224,224 stations into 224,214.

Taufik said the decreasing number was because many people have
moved from the area where they had been registered before.

He also said that the voting period would be closed at 1 p.m.
before the polling station committee could count the ballot
papers. He added that the quick count result would be available
on Tuesday. -- JP
