The Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) Husni Kamil Manik stated that the initial simultaneous regional elections in 2015, which will be held on December 9, will be the largest regional elections ever held in Indonesia. Although the regional elections are not yet entirely synchronized, the estimated number in the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) is the most numerous in Indonesia’s regional elections. He continued, the total number of voters recorded currently exceeds 50% of the voter list in the 2014 Presidential Election. The number of 269 regions holding the regional elections also exceeds 50% of the total 514 regions in Indonesia. “This is the biggest regional election to date. This is a landmark, but it also poses a challenge for us,” said Husni after the handover of the DP4 at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. The first period of simultaneous regional elections will be held at the end of the year for the election of 269 regional heads and their deputies, including 9 governors and deputy governors, 224 regents and deputy regents, and 36 mayors and deputy mayors. According to Law Number 8 of 2015, simultaneous regional elections are carried out in stages: the first stage on December 9, 2015, the second stage in February 2017, the third stage in June 2018, the fourth stage in 2020, the fifth stage in 2022, and the sixth stage in 2023. “If all these stages proceed smoothly and according to plan, the nationwide simultaneous regional elections can only be held in 2027,” said Husni. >> Voter Data Update System Chairman of the KPU Husni Kamil Malik said that the simultaneous local elections will be held on December 9, 2015. Husni acknowledged that updating the voter data in 2015 is simplified. He stated that compared to the 2014 Presidential Election, the current data updating process is more straightforward. In the previous election, data was obtained not only from the Ministry of Home Affairs but also from local governments. “For this year’s data, the source is only one. Previously, there were two sources: the KPU and local governments. The update process is more straightforward; there is no need to collect data again. Now, synchronization is unnecessary,” said Husni after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015. He explained that this way, the local KPU no longer needs to debate in the field about the voter list data they brought to be cross-checked down to the neighborhood level (RT). “Our officers only need to bring the data. This makes it easier for election organizers and guarantees better data quality,” added Husni. Meanwhile, in the handover, the KPU received a total DP4 of 102.068 million. Subsequently, the KPU will provide the data in soft copy format to the local KPU levels. The local KPU will then hand over the data to the voting committee to be verified in the field, corrected, and forwarded to each district or city. The district or city will then issue a provisional voter list to be distributed to the public for review before the final voter list is published. The Ministry of Home Affairs handed over the DP4 to the KPU on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. This data is a list of potential voters who have the right to vote in the simultaneous regional elections held at the end of 2015. Secretary-General of the Ministry of Home Affairs Yuswandi A Tumenggung stated that the DP4 data will be used by the KPU as the basis for compiling the voter list for the first period of the 2015 simultaneous regional elections. In previous regional elections, the mechanism for handing over the DP4 before the regional elections was not first handed over through the governor and/or regent/mayor but directly handed over to the KPU chairman. “Later, the KPU chairman will continue the handover of the DP4 to the provincial and district/city KPU, and it will continue to roll to the Voting Committee (PPS),” said Yuswandi when handing over the DP4 data to KPU Chairman Husni Kamil Malik at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta. The PPS, in this case, plays a role in updating the data together with the Voter Data Updating Officers (PPDP) to match the data in the field. The results of the update will be further processed from the Provisional Voter List (DPS) to the Final Voter List (DPT). Yuswandi stated that the number of potential voters registered in the DP4 reached 102.068 million people. This number is the total number of potential voters who will participate in the election of 269 regional heads/deputy regional heads this time. >> Avoid Duplicate Data

As per Kaesang, that story belongs to the Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, alias Zulhas. “That’s Mr. Zulhas’s version of the story,” he mentioned. He then turned the question back to the media. “So, have you listened to my side of the story yet?” questioned Kaesang. Upon receiving this, a number of journalists asked him to elaborate, but Kaesang chose to keep it to himself. “It’s a secret,” said Kaesang before leaving. Previously, Head of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, said that President Jokowi prohibited his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, from running for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “Earlier, I inquired the President after the meeting. ‘Sir, what about Kaesang running for Jakarta deputy governor?’ ‘Oh no,’ he said, ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,'” Zulkifli Hasan stated at the PAN DPP, South Jakarta, on Monday, (June 3, 2024). Zulhas earlier proposed that Kaesang team up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he wanted Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even proposed it before, ‘Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he mentioned. Although the Supreme Court (MA) had changed the age limit for regional head candidates, providing Kaesang the chance to run for the Jakarta gubernatorial election, Jokowi still prohibited it. “‘Now it’s allowed, Sir.’ I mentioned earlier, yes, then who is the one who challenged it, right. Now it’s allowed, it was legally contested. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he said.
