The General Election COMMISSION (KPU) of Tegal City, Central Java, held a Simulation of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Election (Pilkada) Voting and Counting of Votes for the 2024 Tegal mayor and deputy mayor elections at the Bahari Iin hotel in Tegal City, Sunday (3/11) .
Meanwhile, the sample in the voting and vote counting simulation was the Polling Place (TPS 5) in Pesurungankidul Village with Permanent Voter Data (DPT) of 582 people. Simulation to get a real picture of the voting and counting of votes, on November 27 2024, next.
Tegal City KPU Commissioner, Technical Implementation Division, Mansyur, said that the implementation of elections in the Pilkada for the election of mayor and deputy mayor was certainly different from the previous election, because the maximum number of DPTs was 600 people. But you need to be careful if the number of voters increases.
“We urge officers to prepare seats to wait outside, so that later they don’t stand up and pile up at the TPS entrance,” he said.
Mansyur said that in general the implementation of the simulation did not encounter any obstacles. However, what needs to be paid attention to is that the election will prioritize the elderly and people with disabilities. They get priority to be served directly at the TPS.
“Who is the main priority? First the election organizers because they have to carry out activities, then Forkopimda because they have to be on duty, and thirdly the elderly and people with disabilities,” explained Mansyur.
A resident who took part in the simulation, Revin, 28, admitted that he did not encounter any difficulties and understood because the process was quite easy to understand. “The process is quite easy and easy to understand. The only requirement is to show your KTP and an invitation letter from the sub-district,” said Revin. (N-2)
