Voting registration paper tender opens

JAKARTA: A total of 24 firms are taking part in the pre-
qualification process for the 2004 election voting registration
paper tender, 19 of which are Jakarta-based.

The rest are from West Java, Central Java, East Java and North
Sumatra.

Tender participants include state-owned firm Percetakan
Negara, PT Sumber Cakung, Inkoppol, PT Panca Jasuindo Tiga
Perkasa, Peruri, PT Aneka Industri & Jasa of North Sumatra, and
PT Pertja.

General Elections Commission (KPU) member Hamid Awaluddin
asked the public to file a report to KPU if they had negative
information about any of the firms participating in the tender.

"It is our promise to hold a transparent tender, so please
support us in running it properly. We are now carrying out checks
of the firms' capacity, factory conditions, labor force and other
factors," he said.

He said KPU would announce the outcome of its checks soon.
