Election participants are obliged to submit the LPPDK to the Public Accounting Office (KAP) appointed by the KPU through the Campaign and Campaign Fund Information System (Sikadeka) no later than 15 days after the polling day or by February 29, 2024.
“As of February 29, 2024, at 23:59 WIB, the three candidate pairs have submitted the LPPDK,” KPU Commissioner Idham Kholik said on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

“The KAPs appointed by the KPU will audit the reports no later than 30 days after receiving the report,” Idham added.
