Up to 1,059 extra ballots were destroyed at the Bangka-Belitung office of the General Elections Commission (KPU) in Pangkal Pinang on Tuesday (14/2). The destruction was intended to prevent any fraud during the regional elections to choose governor and deputy governor of Bangka-Belitung on February 15, 2017. The extra ballots were caused by misunderstanding between KPU Bangka-Belitung and provider of the election logistics in Surabaya, East Java.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The concurrent local elections in 101 regions on Wednesday (15/2) are part of the nation’s test toward becoming a more qualified democracy. Honesty and security during voting and ballot counting are crucial during the local elections this time.

Honesty and security during elections have become the real challenge after no serious technical problems that could disrupt the elections have been found.
