"Within it, there will be information on when the general election will be held, the number of participants, how many political parties will be involved and others," he told ANTARA.
"There will also be information on identifying information, including (on checking whether certain reports are) political hoaxes or not," he added.
The online guide will have a living document format, meaning that the information presented in the guide would be updated based on the developing situation and conditions.
The online guide is expected to provide complete and clear general information to the public concerning the 2024 Simultaneous General Election.
In addition, it is expected to encourage eligible voters to exercise their voting right during the biggest democratic event in Indonesia.
The special guide for the general election is not the first online guide made by the IKP Directorate General.
Earlier, the directorate general has issued several online guides for the public to strengthen public communication on important events in Indonesia.
The online guides include the G20pedia, which summarized G20 activities when they were held in Indonesia in 2022. They also include the ASEANPedia, which summarizes the history of Indonesia’s chairmanship of the 2023 ASEAN.
The latest online guide created by the directorate general concerned homecoming and was entitled 2023 Impressive Safe Homecoming.
The Simultaneous General Election is scheduled to be held on February 14, 2024, and will be monitored by the General Election Commission (KPU).
