With the 2024 Regional Elections (Pilkada) nearing, there is various interesting information about the salaries of KPPS (Polling Station Working Committee) members.

According to Astri, the independent candidate pair Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana submitted about 28% of their support documents through the candidate nomination application (Silon). The rest were submitted in physical form and are currently being processed. “We will review these support documents,” stated Astri. Meanwhile, Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya stated that the pair uploaded around 160 thousand support documents through the Silon application and submitted around 690 thousand in physical form. “We are only counting the numbers. So later, the truth will be verified. This acceptance stage is only to see if the documents are there, complete or not,” Dody said. Dody said the Jakarta KPU will issue a receipt if the number meets the minimum requirement of 618,968 supports. This figure is in accordance with Jakarta KPU Decision No. 47 of 2024, which states that independent candidates must have the support of 7.5% of the total Permanent Voter List (DPT) in the previous Jakarta election, which had 8.2 million voters. “But if it does not meet the minimum requirement, we will return the documents to the candidate pair,” Dody said.

In preparation for the 2024 Election, the General Election Commission (KPU) estimates the need for 5,742,127 KPPS members, who will be spread across 820,161 polling stations (TPS) throughout Indonesia. Additionally, 12,765 Indonesian citizens abroad will also be recruited as KPPS members in 128 countries.

Senior Researcher at Populi Center, Usep Saepul Ahyar, stated that running as an independent in the regional election is quite complex. Moreover, it is challenging to defeat candidates supported by political parties. Independent candidates must secure support from 7.5% of the total Permanent Voter List (DPT). For the Jakarta Regional Election, 618,968 support statements, accompanied by identity cards, are required. “So, independent candidates can’t be instant. They must be well-prepared and organized long in advance, securing network support and obtaining 7.5% from the DPT,” Usep told Liputan6.com on Monday (13/5/2024).

Of the several names consulting with the Jakarta KPU, only one pair eventually submitted the required support documents by the deadline on Sunday night (10/5/2024). Previously, several names had consulted with the Jakarta KPU, including Dharma Pongrekun (Deputy Head of BSSN 2019-2021), Sudirman Said (Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources 2014-2016), Noer Fajrieansyah (Commissioner of PT Petrokimia Gresik), and Poempida Hidayatullah (Member of Parliament 2012-2014). From these names, only one pair seriously pursued the candidacy and submitted the required support documents to the Jakarta KPU. They are the pair Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana.
