PADANG, West Sumatra: The West Sumatra General Election
Commission (KPU) has saved at least Rp 20 billion (US$2.1
million) by, among other things, amalgamating some polling
stations.

By merging the polling stations, the KPU will pay less for
polling booth materials, and less on poll officials and witnesses
during the upcoming direct regional elections, said chief of West
Sumatra KPU Muftie Syarfie.

Regional elections in the province will be held in 10
regencies and municipalities here on June 27. -- JP
