Chairman of the Jembrana KPU, I Ketut Adi Sanjaya, said that there were several administrative corrections found in the recapitulation process, such as errors in registering voters at several polling stations in Jembrana and Negara subdistricts. However, these errors do not affect the final results.
“We have made corrections and recorded them in a special incident form. This error is purely administrative and has no impact on the vote tally,” said Adi Sanjaya to media crew, Thursday.
The Jembrana KPU also noted that the voter participation rate in the 2024 regional elections only reached 71.26 percent for the gubernatorial election and 71.23 percent for the regional election. This figure is far below the target of 80 percent, even lower than the 77.8 percent achieved in the 2020 Pilkada.
“At the provincial level, the participation target of 75 percent was also not achieved. This is material for our evaluation to find out the factors that cause low voter participation,” added Adi Sanjaya.
After the recapitulation at the district level is complete, the Jembrana KPU will continue the recapitulation at the provincial level for the gubernatorial election. Meanwhile, the Pilbup results have been determined and we are just waiting for the constitutional case registration book from the Constitutional Court (MK).
“If there is no dispute, the final results will be determined within three days,” said Adi Sanjaya.
