Three monitors ready for polls

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: The election campaign is three days away but only three poll monitoring bodies have registered with the Sulawesi General Elections Commission (KPUD), a poll official said on Monday.

They are Community Care for Elections, the Poll Monitoring Committee for Poor People and the Archipelago Muslim Student Guard.

Ridwan Husein, a member of the KPUD, expressed concern that only three poll monitoring bodies had registered with the KPUD.

He worried that with so few poll monitoring bodies, election violation could go unchecked.

The registration for poll monitoring bodies opened on Feb. 24 and will close on March 10. -- JP
