2014 ELECTION

2014 election a month away . The implementation of direct elections , general , free , confidential , honest , and fair , as mandated by the 1945 Constitution , is a must. On that basis , Indonesian Discussion One ( Third Series ) with the theme " 2014 election , Readiness and Challenges " . The speaker : Election Commission Chairman Husni Kamil Manik , Chief Justice Hamdan Zoelva , Honorary Chairman of the Board of Election Jimly Asshiddiqie , Assistant Inspector General of Police Operations Wachyunadi Arif , member of the Election Supervisory Board Endang Wihdatiningtyas , former Vice Chairman of the Commission Ramlan Surbakti , and National Coordinator People's Voter Education network M Afifuddin . The results are written discussion Amir Sodikin , Susana Rita , and Ilham Khoiri .

General Elections Commission ( KPU ) believes , on April 9 legislative elections later , much of their history of successful new torehkan . Here are the rules of the election of the most prepared and followed the spirit of transparency .

KPU start by building transparency Voter Data Information System ( Sidalih ) in the world . There is no other country that collect voter data to hundreds of millions of voters in a consolidated database system .

Election Commission database even offer permanent voters list ( DPT ) can be exploited anyone , including political parties ( parties) if you want to use it for political recruitment . Everyone can check the list of voters to the polling station level ( TPS ) in http://data.kpu.go.id/dpt.php .

In the middle of the confidence the Commission , still flashed concerns . Concerns range from the potential sale of sound at lower levels until the integrity of the electoral administration in the lower level .

Logrolling not just happen antarcalon legislators ( candidates ) with the voters , but also occurs antarcaleg in the same constituency . Candidates do not always steal the voice of the other party , they can also be bought to separtai which if the candidate has no hope of winning . Here, the credibility and integrity of election officials at the village / villages and districts will be tested .

In the 2009 elections , as many as 35 percent of the vote is given to the parties . From there , the political parties and then distribute to prospective voice -sanctioned political parties . With this system , candidates who are disadvantaged is not sanctioned political party , but is superior in the eyes of voters .

Logrolling also vulnerable party do not get a seat in the House . Politicians from parties like this will be peddling his voice to potential candidates who dare to pay dearly .

Many officers Ballot Group Organizer ( KPPS ) who works down through the generations , and some have been since the New Order . It is more alarming , their salaries in this election is the same as the last election , but lower than the election . With facts like that , their chances of " cold " or compromised the interests of certain political parties to be very high .

transparency sound

Old problems that still clung Commission is the DPT . However , the Commission is now relieved that Bawaslu given time up to 14 days before the vote to update the DPT .

Of the 3.3 million voters without identification numbers of population , is expected to be completed before the deadline set Bawaslu .

KPU also being intensively socialize counting system . In this counting , the Commission seeks to pursue a transparent public trust .

Proposed Bawaslu that recapitulation form ( C1 ) can be opened at the village / urban Commission finally adopted . Previously , C1 is only opened if there is a problem . That way , there will be a comparison between records in plano C1 and C1 certificate .

Commission also set up a system that focuses seriously strengthen the administration of proof if there is a dispute , by relying on scanning and publication on the website C1 Commission .

Experience in Court , in many election disputes , often encountered C1 differ between the applicant and the respondent submitted . In fact , when checked at the ballot box is also different , so there are four versions of C1 . There is no reference that ensures authenticity C1 .

In the election , so as not to repeat such an issue , form C1 and C1 plano certificate will be marked with a special mikrotek and holograms . Mikrotek also marked ballots . That way , if there is a dispute in court , the Commission could explain where the fake and which one is the original .

Commission in this election will not use information technology ( IT ) is complex for voting . The term , no e - voting for the 2014 election . Had heard the news the Commission will use electronic recapitulation , recapitulation is using IT tools . However , the Commission ultimately decided not to use it .

In its place is a recapitulation of the semi - electronic scanning by requiring officers TPS rate recapitulation form or so-called C1 form . Form C1 was scanned officer at district / city KPU uploaded to the site for the next Commission .

All forms C1 , which is supposedly the last election easily manipulated and hidden , will be scanned and posted on the Commission website . That way , all participants of the election , including citizens of the world , will be able to see the C1 archives online .

Looks simple , but this is a leap many encouraging transparency . That recall , in the previous election , many political party witnesses who can not get C1 . They are expensive to buy to get it .

Each political party witnesses who came to the polls will also receive a copy of the form C1 . In fact , including the political party that does not send a witness to the polls .

The way to dispel the Commission adopted logrolling commonly circulating in the village level to district. With such transparency , political parties need not worry if it is not able to produce witnesses in all polling stations .

Commission had opened the taps open . This is a new history of the most transparent election . However , can the system maintain its integrity until the bottom level of the organizers ?
