Sanction needed for KPU

Sanction needed for KPU

From Bisnis Indonesia

The General Elections Commission (KPU) has not done its job
well, as is evident in the poor logistics distribution and the
poor quality of the ink used in the presidential election.
Besides, it is also responsible for the validity of ballot papers
that have been punctured all the way through, that is, from the
top layer to the bottom.

The KPU is made up of reputable intellectuals, but they seem
to have been very sloppy in their work. None of them seem to have
been prepared for the problems referred to above, especially
regarding the likelihood that a folded ballot paper will be
punctured from the top layer to the bottom.

Many voters thought that they simply had to make a puncture on
the picture of a candidate, without ever thinking that they first
had to unfold the paper.

I was the chairman of my local poll committee. Until the
committee was dissolved, we never received any instruction from
the KPU about the validity of a ballot paper. Perhaps, the KPU
sent out this instruction, but it was much too late.
