A
cting Jakarta Governor Sumarsono has launched a competition offering awards for the officials of subdistrict offices that hold peaceful and safe elections on Feb. 15.
“Heads of subdistrict offices who get the highest scores in the competition will get Democracy Awards,” he said as quoted by beritajakarta.com in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Sumarsono said the scores would be determined by three indicators, namely public participation in the voting process, the number of election violations and the level of safety during the electoral process.
He said all subdistricts should increase public participation, lower the number of violations and ensure a peaceful voting day.
Sumarsono said the competition aimed to encourage officials at the subdistrict level to increase their work performances during the election. (ebf)
