ELECTORAL-ROLL CHAOS DUE TO KPU ADMINISTRATIVE PROBLEM : KIPP
Jakarta, July 23 (ANTARA) - The different data on eligible voters at polling stations and with the success teams of presidential candidates have happened due to the chaotic administration of the General Elections Commission (KPU), an election monitoring committee said.
"In the runup to the presidential election, the KPU had three times updated its fixed electoral rolls (DPT), namely in May, on June 18 and on July 6, 2009," Mulyana W Kusumah of the Independent General Elections Monitoring Committee (KIPP) said here on Thursday.
He said that based on Article 210, Law No. 42 / 2009 on Presidential Election, the fixed electoral rolls might not be changed and if they were changed it would be a crime.
The other article of the law stipulated that the latest updating of the electoral rolls should be carried out on June 8, 2009.
"But the KPU still updated the fixed voters' list two days before the election was held on July 8, 2009," Kusumah said.
Based on the KIPP survey, the different data on the DPT which was questioned by two presidential candidate pairs who lost the election, were caused by the chaotic administration of the KPU.
He said that the problem was not a systematic violation by the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair which won the presidential race.
"Based on the survey we have done, we did not find any systematic violation committed by the winning presidential pair," he said.
The KPU staged a presidential election on July 8, 2009. Three candidates took part in the contest.
The three presidential and vice presidential pairs were Megawati Soekarnoputri and her running mate Prabowo Subianto (Mega-Pro), Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his pair Boediono (SBY-Boediono), and Jusuf Kalla who ran for president with Wiranto (JK-WIN).
Some 176,367,056 eligible voters including 1,133,738 Indonesians overseas were registered to vote for their presidential candidates in the country's second direct presidential election.
The results of quick counts by a number of survey institutions on the presidential poll indicated that the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono -Boediono (SBY-Boediono) pair led the vote counts by about 60 percent, far surpassing the votes won by their two rivals, the Mega-Pro and JK-WIN duos. ***
