akarta residents who lost their right to vote in the first round of the election would be listed for the race's second round, said the city's elections commission (KPU Jakarta) head, Sumarno. 

"We will update voter data on a limited basis," said Sumarno, as quoted by Kompas.com on Monday evening. 

The decision had been taken during a consultation meeting with the National Elections Commission in Menteng, Central Jakarta, he added. 

Given the limited time, KPU Jakarta would not conduct door-to-door registration like it did for the first round. 

Residents were being asked to register themselves at the voting commission in each sub-precinct office. 

However, KPU Jakarta had yet to decide on the time and procedure for registration as it needed further investigation, he said. (agn/dmr)
