T
he Salatiga General Elections Commission (KPU Salatiga) will not hold quick counts for this year’s Salatiga mayoral election. The commission will recapitulate the ballots on Thursday.
“Tomorrow [Thursday] the local committee will conduct a vote recapitulation, but it will not be the official count. The official vote recapitulation from the Salatiga KPU will be announced on Feb. 24,” said Syaemuri Albab, a Salatiga KPU member.
A number of independent institutions in Salatiga are holding their own quick counts. The Coordination Forum of Regional Leaders of Salatiga, for instance, organizes their quick count at the Salatiga mayoral residence.
“We have prepared the quick count process at the official mayoral residence so that people in Salatiga can also monitor the quick count process together. We already coordinated this event with the KPU,” said acting Salatiga mayor Achmad Rofai.
The campaign teams of candidate pairs Agus Rudianto-Dance Iskak and Yuliyanto-M Haris also have organized their own quick counts.
Agus already exercised his right to vote in Tegalrejo regency, while Yuliyanto had cast his vote in Sidorejo regency.
Meanwhile, Salatiga Police chief Adj. Comr. Happy Perdana Yudianto said his team was ready to secure the whole election process until it was over. (trw)
