KPU in Jakarta Recognizes KPPS Cannot Correct Presidential Election Data: Corrections Only by KPU

Jakarta –

The General Election Commission (KPU) recognizes the officers of the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) cannot correct Presidential Election data that is read incorrectly in Sirekap. Corrections in Sirekap can only be made by the KPU.

“In terms of voting results for the Presidential Election, the KPPS can only confirm something or not according to the results of the Sirekap reading. The KPPS for the president and vice president cannot make corrections,” said KPU member Betty Epsilon Idroos in a press conference at the KPU office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday (19/2/2024).

Betty said that corrections to the Presidential Election Sirekap data which do not comply with the c.Results form can be done during the calculation stage at the district/city KPU level. This is because the KPU uses Optical Mark Recognation (OMR) technology for the presidential election.

“Corrections for data that do not match, if there is a mismatch when the system can read it, are carried out by the district/city KPU through the Sirekap web mechanism,” he said.

“There is a marker when the KPPS states it is not appropriate, it can be read and the district/city KPU will correct it via the Sirekap website,” he continued.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Indonesian KPU Technical Division, Idham Holik, said that for the Legislative Election, the KPU used Optical Character Recognation (OCR) technology. Idham said that with OCR, KPPS can immediately correct if Sirekap reads the data incorrectly.

“For Sirekap Pileg (DPR, DPD, and Provincial DPRD as well as Regency/City DPRD). This reading technology is different from OMR, where this technology can enable KPPS at TPS locations after uploading model C form photo documents resulting from editing or correcting inaccuracies or “There was an error in reading the data in the photo,” he said.

“If KPPS misses any inaccuracies or errors in the results of reading the data, then the Sirekap PPK and KPU operators can correct them,” he added.
