The team flew to Kuala Lumpur only hours after Yaza Azzahra Ulyana, the head of the Kuala Lumpur Elections Supervisory Agency (Panwaslu Kuala Lumpur), lodged a formal report about the finding of the alleged marked ballots in favor of incumbent ticket President Joko “Jokowi “ Widodo and two candidates from the NasDem Party.

The committee made the report after verifying a video of people raiding an empty store and unpacking several bags containing the marked ballots.

The team, consisting of members of the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), directly visited the locations where the precast ballots were allegedly found — an empty store in Taman Universiti Sungai Tangkas Bangi and a house in Bandar Baru Bangi, which have been sealed off by Malaysian police.

“We, from the KPU and Bawaslu, have come to Kuala Lumpur to clarify [the report],” said KPU commissioner Hasyim Asy’ari in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur as quoted by Antara.

He said the team had yet to confirm whether the marked ballots were genuine.

Hasyim also questioned the video as many people could have easily entered the store where the ballots were found. A location used to store ballots should have been secured tightly, he said.
