"As we all hope, this simultaneous regional heads elections must be held safely, orderly, and peacefully, as they are an exhilarating celebration of democracy for the people," Wiranto noted after reviewing the election process at the Taman Malabar Polling Station-07, here.
The law and security minister observed the process of the West Java gubernatorial election and Bogor city head election at several polling stations.
Wiranto visited Polling Station-05 in Bantarjati, North Bogor, and Polling Station-07 at Taman Malabar in Central Bogor.
The minister said there was no particular reason for conducting a random review of several polling stations, as not all of them can be visited by the state organizers as the facilitators of regional elections.
According to Wiranto, the review aims to ensure that implementation of the 2018 regional elections was in accordance with the aspirations of the entire community and are held in a safe, peaceful, and conducive manner.
He also delivered the president`s message that 2018 is not a political year full of competition and disputes.
"However, this is a celebration of democracy that is held with great joy," Wiranto noted.
