Voters to be treated like kings at three polling stations

Voters to be treated like kings at three polling stations

Indonesians who turn out to vote at three polling stations in
Monday's presidential election will get free food, drink,
entertainment and even door prizes, a report said Sunday.

The incentives are on offer in a district in Jember in East
Java province.
Electors at the three stations will not only receive food and
drink but will also be entertained by a live band, the state
Antara news agency said.

Achmad Sudiono, head of one of the three stations, said they
will also provide door prizes including a television set,
mountain bicycles and other goods.

Sudiono said journalists will get free meals and a free T-
shirt.
He said the prizes were not linked to who the voters choose but
were only part of the neighbourhood's attempt to liven up the
event. -- AFP
