- VIVA/Agus Setiawan
Jakarta – The Indonesian General Elections Commission (KPU) has set a date for the implementation of the Re-voting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. However, this schedule is still an initial plan and hasn't been decided in an official document.
"The plan is for the mobile ballot box Re-voting in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday (March 9). Then, the polling station method is on Sunday (March 10)," said KPU Chairman Hasyim Asy'ari in a press conference, on Tuesday.
Asy'ari emphasized that this date difference aims to allow the votes collected through the mobile ballot box method to have one day to be counted together with the votes from the polling stations.

"So, it's hoped that on March 12, there will be a recapitulation of the Kuala Lumpur vote count so later, it can complete the vote recapitulation for elections abroad," Asy'ari remarked.
He added that his party hopes that the implementation of the Re-voting in Kuala Lumpur won't interfere with the tiered manual recapitulation schedule and stages.
In accordance with the Election Law, he said, the KPU must have determined the results of the vote count recapitulation a maximum of 35 days after voting.
