A resident processes a letter for the relocation of votes (A5) at the General Elections Commission (KPU) office in South Jakarta on Saturday (23/2/2019) to enable her to exercise her voting rights in the 2019 election away from her original domicile. The service involving relocation documents is to be available until March 17. According to the retabulation of the first national stage of the KPU\'s additional voters list (DPTb), which ended on February 17, 275,923 voters from 87,483 polling stations (TPS) had processed letters for the relocation of votes.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Stakeholders in the 2019 general election are urged to sit down together to reach an understanding and find a solution to the possible shortage of ballot papers for voters who have transferred their registration. Apart from protecting citizens’ constitutional right to vote, action is also necessary to avoid unnecessary suspicion and chaos.

The General Elections Commission (KPU) has yet to find a solution to the possible shortage of ballot papers due to an influx of transferee voters in certain regions, such as mining regions. The KPU is prevented from providing extra ballots, as the Election Law stipulates that it may only provide ballot papers according to the final voter list (DPT), plus an extra 2 percent.
