Bawaslu Chairman Rahmat Bagja said that the deployment of these cars was an effort to carry out the agency's preventive functions.
"Therefore, these cars will be on the streets during mass campaigns," Bagja said.
In addition to cars, Bawaslu also established Election Supervision Corners at each office of the General Election Commission (KPU) all over the country.
Lolly Suhenty, a Bawaslu member, said that the agency mobilized five supervision cars in the capital city, Jakarta.
Other provinces, including West Java, Banten, and Central Java, also received such cars from Bawaslu during the election mass campaign period.
Suhenty said that these regions have a high vulnerability to election violations.
"Following the (election violation) vulnerability map, Jakarta as the face of Indonesia will have five cars standing by around the Jakarta area, also five in West Java and Banten, and one in Tegal, Central Java," she explained.
The cars, called the Surveillance Corner Cars, are a place where the public can report information related to suspected violations in the election process, she said.
"Bawaslu makes supervision corners in the form of cars to ensure all people can access information during this crucial stage (of the general elections)," she said.
Bawaslu launched these cars during the mass campaign period from January 21 to February 7 to suppress violations.
The cars will be on standby at locations where the mass campaigns will be held.
