T
he Jakarta Elections Commission (KPU Jakarta) is holding revotes in two polling stations after finding that several people had voted without registration.
KPU Jakarta head Sumarno said the election committee had accepted a recommendation for the revotes in a polling station in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, and another one in Pancoran, South Jakarta.
Jakarta Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu Jakarta) had recommended the revote in the two locations after discovering that more than one person had cast ballots without showing proper identification.
“There is no problem with ballot stocks [for the revote],” said Sumarno as quoted by kpujakarta.go.id.

He said the only difference between the ballots used on Sunday and those previously used on Feb. 15 was that each ballot would bear the word “revote”.
The revote will be held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. (wit)
