Since the data of voters always changes, (they) need to update the data including in West Kalimantan Province,Pontianak, W Kalimantan (ANTARA) - Deputy Chief of the House Commission II Syamsurizal has appealed to regional governments and regional general election commissions (KPUs) to reregister voters ahead of the 2024 general elections.
"Since the data of voters always changes, (they) need to update the data, including in West Kalimantan Province," Syamsurizal noted during a working visit here on Saturday.
According to Syamsurizal, updating population data is very important since several voters change their electoral district and had died before the elections. In addition, several citizens, who are currently aged 17 years, and retired police and military members, with the right to vote, have not been registered as voters.
