"The Bawaslu supervision corners existed in the 2019 election although they were not too massive, (but) currently we are making them massive in all provinces, cities, and districts," Bawaslu member Lolly Suhenty said at the Car Free Day here on Sunday.
Suhenty explained, the supervision corner does not have to be in the Bawaslu Office, but can be established in strategic spaces that are easily accessible to the public.
Like in Jakarta, the supervision corner is present at the Car Free Day event and other public spaces.
"Bawaslu continues to promote this (supervision corner)," she said.
She said the Bawaslu Supervision Corner is a place to receive first information or reports from the community, a place for discussing ideas, conducting dialogues, and question and answer sessions, as well as providing input to Bawaslu.
"So the constructive interaction is more about public education. If the public reports a violation, it will be received by the violation handling division," Suhenty said.
People who suspect violations related to the elections can make a report to Bawaslu's handling division.
"Once one has stated that he has found an alleged violation, he will need to immediately report to the violation handling division," she said.
Related to reports, Suhenty said that they must fulfill or have the formal and other material elements before being registered as reports under Bawaslu.
"We need a study to determine whether an issue matters or not," she said.
