The 2024 Jakarta Regional Election is seeing a lack of interest from independent candidates.

Recount in Surabaya “We have prepared a storage area and stationed security personnel. From our agreement with the KPUD as well as Bawaslu, we have provided three locks, each held by Bawaslu, KPUD, and the law enforcement authorities,” he said. “Thus, we guarantee that the election boxes are safe and that the voting recount will run smoothly,” he concluded. Meanwhile, KPU Chief for East Java Aang Kunaifi emphasized that the city of Surabaya was selected for the voting recount, considering several elements. “Namely, considering security factors and other elements such as the process of replacing the KPU leadership,” said Kunaifi.

Meanwhile, Jakarta KPU Chairman Wahyu Dinata said they are accepting the support documents from the candidate pairs. The process involves initial acceptance and then returning the documents. “We are currently in the review process. After this, we will examine both the physical and digital documents they have prepared,” Wahyu explained. According to Wahyu, if the documents meet the minimum requirements, they will issue a receipt. If not, they will return the documents.

In addition to charting the vulnerable areas for the 2024 concurrent Pilkada, the Regional Police are also dedicated to safeguarding the vote recount in two regions, Jember and Pamekasan, for the DPR RI and regional DPRD elections to be held in Surabaya City on June 23, 2024. The election boxes for the recount are currently well protected at the East Java Police HQ. The Regional General Election Commission (KPUD) deliberately placed the voting logistics because, in accordance with the Constitutional Court (MK) ruling, the police were appointed to provide security.

According to Doli, from the start, Sirekap has been a concern for Commission II DPR RI. It was even initially not recommended for use in the 2024 Election. “In the early stages of discussing the Election, friends recommended not using Sirekap, but suddenly Sirekap appeared from the KPU. So let’s discuss it later and not say it will be used now,” Doli explained.

“Therefore, once they are determined by the provincial, regency, or city KPU as candidates or pairs of candidates for the 2024 Regional Elections, they must promptly submit a resignation letter as elected candidates,” said Hasyim at the Parliament Building in Senayan, Jakarta (15/5/2024).

Only one pair of independent candidates for governor and deputy governor of Jakarta submitted their support documents to the Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) by the deadline. This pair is Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana. The KPU DKI Jakarta officially closed the submission of support documents for prospective governor candidates on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 11:59 PM WIB. “We announce that by the deadline for submitting support documents for independent or individual candidates at 11:59 PM WIB, there is only one pair, namely Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana,” said KPU DKI member Astri Megatari in Jakarta, according to Antara.

KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari said that the Information Recapitulation System (Sirekap), claimed to be a vote counting tool during the 2024 Election, will be used again for the 2024 Regional Elections. Since the election and regional election models differ, a new design is being developed. “Sirekap is planned to be used for the 2024 Regional Elections because it was first used in the 2020 Regional Elections. The design and other aspects are being prepared,” said Hasyim at the DPR RI, quoted on Thursday (16/5/2024).

Hasyim also reasoned that with an increased number of voters in one TPS, it would facilitate data entry since voters from two TPS are combined into one. “The number 600 is intended to simplify the design of the number of TPS, thus facilitating regrouping or data collection by merging two TPS into one,” he assured.

“Lumajang is added to this Pilkada because of a significant event in the past,” said Sugianto at the East Java Police Headquarters on June 21, 2024. Therefore, according to Inspector General Imam, there will be changes in the security arrangements between the Pilkada and the last election. This will be tailored to the characteristics of each region. “The security patterns will certainly differ; we are currently mapping the Pilkada potential vulnerability index (IPKP) of each region,” said Sugianto. “God willing, in August and September, after the candidate announcement, we will understand how to chart the security patterns in each region,” added Irjen Imam.

The General Election Commission of Indonesia (KPU RI) conducted an evaluation of the 2024 Election with Commission II of the DPR RI. This aims to ensure that the upcoming Regional Elections in November run more smoothly. One of the plans to be evaluated is the number of voters at each Polling Station (TPS).

It is known that in the 2024 Election, the maximum number of voters per TPS was 300. Therefore, to be more efficient, the KPU plans to double this number.

Intelligence and Security Director for East Java Police, Kombes Dekananto Eko Puwono, stated that his department received a petition from the East Java Provincial KPUD based on the outcome of the plenary according to the MK’s decision to deposit the ballot papers from Jember and Pamekasan at the Mapolda Jatim.
