The vote-counting process for Setu district, South Tangerang city, Banten, takes place at the Batan Indah Meeting Hall, South Tangerang, Friday (19/4/2019). Votes for the president, Regional Representatives Council (DPD), House of Representatives (DPR) as well as for provincial, regional and city-level legislative councils (DPRD) were counted. Guarded by security forces, the process was attended by witnesses, supervisors and members of the public.

As many of us were sleeping soundly, polling station workers remained committed to their duty, which consumed their energy, time and finances. Some even died on duty, all for the sake of a smooth 2019 election.

Early on Thursday (18/4/2019), workers were still busy tabulating votes at Polling Station (TPS) 108 in Cijantung subdistrict, Pasar Rebo district, East Jakarta. “[Legislative candidate] no. 2 of the PKS [Prosperous Justice Party], no. 4 of Gerindra, no. 1 of Nasdem and no. 1 of the PDI-P [Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle],” shouted polling station worker Lie Syarifudin. Another worker added the votes to the tally on the C1 Form attached to a wooden board.
