The General Elections Commission (KPU) has delayed the announcement of the final tally of votes from 130 Overseas Election Committees (PPLNs) as D1 forms have yet to arrive in Indonesia, a commissioner has said.
“As many as 130 PPLNs have completed the recapitulation of votes; however, original D1 forms from 10 PPLNs have not yet arrived,” KPU commissioner Ferry Kurnia Rizkiyansyah said on the sidelines of an open vote recapitulation plenary meeting in Jakarta on Sunday, as quoted by Antara.
Despite the absence of the original documents, the KPU and the PPLNs on Saturday completed the vote counting and recapitulation processes for the DKI Jakarta II electoral district, which included votes from Central Jakarta, South Jakarta and overseas voters.
“During the recapitulation of votes in the plenary meeting yesterday, the overseas voting results obtained by the PPLN Working Group at the Foreign Ministry were read out via their diplomatic cables. Now, we are waiting for the original documents to compare the results,” Ferry added.
KPU chairman Husni Kamil Manik said he expected the D1 forms would arrive in Jakarta on Monday, after which the commission would conduct a national vote recapitulation for the Jakarta electoral district.
“The legalization of the vote recapitulation for the DKI Jakarta electoral district will be delayed until Monday. It will go ahead if all the documents have been received by the PPLN Working Group,” Husni said.
