KPU Absent from KPI Hearing on Real Count, Election System's Server

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Constitutional Rights Advocacy Foundation, or Yakin, had filed a case against the General Elections Commission (KPU) to disclose information related to the 2024 Election. However, during the third hearing held by the Central Information Commission (KIP) on March 18, the KPU did not attend.

The case includes requests for raw data on the real count, detailed information on the technology infrastructure used during the election, including servers, the final voters' list (DPT), and the voting results from the previous election.

“So KPU cannot attend due to reasons that I would read,” the chairman of the KIP Board of Commissioners, Syawaludin, said at a hearing in Jakarta on Monday.

The reasons were contained in a letter from the KPU dated March 16, 2024. In the letter, the KPU requested the postponement and rescheduling of the hearing, as it was still in the process of recapitulating the vote tally at the national level and determining the results of the 2024 elections, which would be completed on March 20.

“However, we will resume the hearing even without the presence of the respondent,” Syawaludin added.

The hearing then continued with the agenda of expert examination from Yakin as the petitioner. Four experts were presented by Yakin, including telematics and multimedia expert Roy Suryo, former KIP chairman Abdul Rahman Ma'mun, professor of social psychology at Bina Nusantara University (Binus) Juneman Abraham, and IT expert Wahyudi Natakusuma.
