This was conveyed by Fahmi at the Readiness Roll Call of Voter Data Update Officers (Pantarlih) for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) at the Jakarta International Velodrome, Rawamangun, East Jakarta, on June 24, 2024. “Yes, there has been an increase compared to the 2024 General Election. In the 2024 General Election, our number of voters was 8,252,897,” stated Fahmi.

Therefore, he continued, KPU DKI Jakarta will conduct data matching and verification (Coklit) from house to house to ensure the voter data matches the current DPT. “We need to update and ensure that KPU fulfills the constitutional rights of citizens to use their voting rights in the DKI Jakarta Pilkada,” he said.

Of the many Pilkada stages, Warits revealed that all stages have vulnerable points for supervision. “The points are in many aspects, right now in the Voter List Update (Pantarlih) stage, later in the candidacy stage. Candidacy must also be supervised, as well as the campaign stage. Campaigns must not violate regulations and must especially avoid intimidation. There should be no intimidation from authorities or election officials who get involved. They must not force people to direct or win certain candidates. I think we must protect this together,” Warits stated.

**KPU DKI Prepares for Two-Round Jakarta Pilkada** The DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) is preparing for the stages or second round of the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. Especially since the two-round Pilgub is unique to Jakarta as a special region. This was shared by DKI Jakarta KPU Chairman Wahyu Dinata at the Launch of the Stages, Jingle, and Mascot for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub at the South Side of the National Monument (Monas), Central Jakarta, on Saturday night (May 25, 2024). The event was also attended by KPU RI Commissioner Betty Epsilon Idroos, August Mellaz, Head of the Jakarta National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) Taufan Bakri, and members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda). “The DKI Jakarta KPU has also planned the second stage, which is only implemented in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta as mandated by Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta,” said Wahyu.

**Realize a Good Pilkada** Because of the many ‘dawn attacks’ in the last election, Warits reminded that this Pilkada must be protected together, synergized together to be honest, fair, and safe from all fraud. “Yes, we must guard it together. Because it is impossible for Bawaslu alone, the KPU only has six people with its secretariat in each sub-district. Three PPS, three PPS secretariat. They have six people plus seven PKD members, seven people in each village guarding sub-districts with thousands of residents, even tens of thousands. To guard against ‘dawn attacks,’ it’s impossible to handle alone. Therefore, it must be guarded together,” Warits stated. Warits mentioned that citizens can only vote in the Pilkada if their mental condition is not insane or they are sane. This means that those who can vote are those who think and are normal. “Do not let the thoughts of the people who can vote be bought at a very cheap price, even cheaper than a chicken. That is an insult to the people. Because those who cannot think should not vote. For example, insane people are regulated by law and should not be included in the DPT. Thus, synergy among all of us is necessary to realize a better Pilkada. I think it’s important,” he stated.

Anies hopes that Jakarta’s residents can find happiness and also highlighted the goal of making Jakarta a progressive city for its inhabitants. “We want Jakarta’s residents to feel progress and be happy,” said Anies

Political observer Budiman from Mulawarman University (Unmul) stated that candidates running in the East Kalimantan Regional Election should be transparent. “Prospective regents in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent and free from money politics,” he remarked.

“Because in our country’s constitution, the preamble of the 1945 Constitution mandates that the sovereignty of the people is fundamental in the administration of our state. Achieving our national goals must place the sovereignty of the people as something fundamental,” said Warits in Surabaya on June 25, 2024. Warits highlighted that through the 2024 Pilkada, the sovereignty of the people must be protected together through participatory supervision in public spaces that need to be created. “Because elections are the voice of the people, they must be protected together. They must not be lost,” he remarked.

Meanwhile, Sandiaga admitted that there has been no directive from the PPP Central Executive Board (DPP) to run in the Jakarta Regional Election, but he expressed his readiness if assigned. “There has been no instruction from the PPP leadership, so I am ready to be assigned wherever needed,” he said
