The Banyuwangi General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) has deployed five thousand one hundred thirty-four voter data update officers (pantarlih) to conduct verification and research (coklit) for the 2024 regional elections (Pilkada).

The findings reveal that three individuals are contending in the 2024 Jember election: Faida, who served as Regent from 2016-2021, Muhammad Fawait from the East Java DPRD, and Hendy Siswanto, who is the sitting regent. “The findings show that Hendy Siswanto and Faida are very popular by the people of Jember, with popularity ratings exceeding 80 percent. Faida is known by 82.7 percent of the people, Hendy Siswanto has 78.7 percent recognition, and Muhammad Fawait by 65.7 percent. Other candidates, such as Jaddin Wajads, Kadiknas Achmad Sudiyono, and Hadi Supaat from PDI Perjuangan, have recognition levels below 40 percent,” said Agusta in a press release on Saturday.

A. Irawan mentioned that the findings found the public reception of regent hopefuls for Jember. The acceptance level of Hendy Siswanto is only 48.7 percent, below 50 percent, while ex-regent Faida has an acceptance level of 78.6 percent. Meanwhile, M. Fawait has an approval rating of 53 percent, and other candidates such as Wajads, Sudiyono, and Supaat all have public receptions below 50 percent. “From the JJI survey, the voter preference (Top of Mind) of F. Faida as a prospective regent for Jember leads in the first place with 37.7 percent. In second place is Hendy with 20.7 percent electability, followed by M. Fawait with an electability percentage of 17.7 percent,” he stated. Other individuals, like Wajads, have 4.6 percent, and Supaat has 3.6 percent, with other individuals below 2 percent.

Regarding the recruitment and selection process by the General Election Commission (KPU) RI, Bagja asked all Bawaslu commissioners and staff to supervise this process. “We must supervise the recruitment and selection conducted by the KPU in recruiting the Sub-district Election Committees, Village Election Committees, and in the future, the Voting Organizing Groups (KPPS). This is our collective duty, and we hope we can accomplish it,” said Bagja.

Previously, the KPU RI officially launched the stages for the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections at Prambanan Temple, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, on Sunday (31/3). Here is the schedule for the 2024 Pilkada stages:

Meanwhile, the Banyuwangi Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) has instructed its subordinates to closely monitor the process of voter data verification (coklit) for the 2024 Pilkada. The Division of Prevention, Community Participation, and Public Relations of Banyuwangi Bawaslu, Khomisa Kurnia Indra, announced that there are many aspects that need to be supervised during the coklit phase. According to her, after the determination of the 2024 election’s final voter list (DPT), there are many elements to observe leading up to the Pilkada, such as voters who have passed away, residents who are married but not yet 17 years old, residents who have moved, and new voters who have completed e-KTP recording. “These elements are crucial to observe to ensure that the final voter list in Banyuwangi aligns with the actual conditions on the ground,” she emphasized on Wednesday.

He mentioned that during the post-election period, there have been several changes in voter data due to various factors. “There have indeed been changes in the data. For instance, some residents have passed away. Additionally, there are residents who were not of age in the last election but will be 17 years old for this Pilkada,” he added. Therefore, Enot emphasized that such conditions require re-data collection through pantarlih. “This is done to ensure that the final voter list for the Pilkada is truly valid and accurate,” he explained.

The Regional Election (Pilkada) is a democratic process that signifies the essence of public participation in determining the direction of local governance . It is not merely an administrative ritual but an event where the voices of the people are heard, and their wishes and aspirations are reflected in the ballot box.

Previously reported, the PKS Central Leadership Council (DPP) nominated the Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council, Mohamad Sohibul Iman, as the prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as reasonable. Besides being a cadre party, PKS also has significant support in Jakarta. “I think it’s quite rational for PKS to nominate their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. There are two arguments: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always pushed their cadres to compete in regional elections, not just in Jakarta but also elsewhere,” he said to Liputan6.com, Monday (24/6/2024).

“Ahmad Ali is the most liked because he has reached the most voters through various socialization activities, including outdoor attributes, media coverage, social media, and direct engagement with residents, both personally and through his volunteers,” said Executive Director of Indikator, Burhanuddin Muhtadi, in a statement received on Monday, June 24, 2024.
