Indonesians in KL to recast their votes on March 10

KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — The Indonesian General Election’s (Pemilu 2024) re-voting process for the entire Kuala Lumpur area will be held on March 10 at the World Trade Centre (WTC), according to the Indonesian Embassy.

In a Facebook post, it said the re-voting process will start from 8am and end at 6pm local time.

The process will involve 22 polling stations and 120 mobile ballot boxes.

“The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia has received an official notification from the Central Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) regarding the 2024 Election Rerun Poll in Kuala Lumpur.

“The Embassy in Kuala Lumpur is not the organiser of the 2024 election. The organisers are the KPU and Bawaslu (General Election Supervisory Body),” said the embassy.

Meanwhile, on its Facebook page, the KPU quoted its head Hasyim Asy’ari as saying that Bawaslu has proposed the re-voting process to be carried out in Kuala Lumpur.

Indonesian media reported the re-voting will involve 62,217 registered voters consisting of 42,372 who will vote at the WTC and 19,845 via the mobile ballot boxes in 120 locations.

The re-voting was carried out after Indonesian police found election violations involving data manipulation and forgery carried out by seven Kuala Lumpur Foreign Election Committee members.
