Registered voters the Surabaya General Elections Commission (KPU) on Thursday (4/4/2019) to transfer their registration or obtain the A5 form, following the issuance of Constitutional Court Decision No. 20/2019. However, many people learned that they did not meet the four criteria for the A5 form: voters who are ill, caregivers of sick relatives and those receiving medical treatment in areas outside their registered domicile; voters affected/displaced by disasters; voters detained in connection with a crime; and voters who are working on voting day.

Some residents, who enthusiastically wanted to process documents confirming that they have moved away from their hometowns to enable them to vote in the 2019 general elections, faced arduous procedures to meet the requirements under certain circumstances. The General Elections Commission (KPU) is encouraged to continue facilitating them.

SURABAYA, KOMPAS — Voters in a number of areas enthusiastically wanted to process the documents they needed to vote in locations different from the polling stations they are assigned to at the KPU’s local offices. However, some of them faced problems concerning who was allowed to process the documents until seven days before the voting day of the 2019 elections. These voters must be facilitated by the KPU not making too stern restrictions that could prevent citizens from exercising their right to vote.
