Of the many Pilkada stages, Warits revealed that all stages have vulnerable points for supervision. “The points are in many aspects, right now in the Voter List Update (Pantarlih) stage, later in the candidacy stage. Candidacy must also be supervised, as well as the campaign stage. Campaigns must not violate regulations and must especially avoid intimidation. There should be no intimidation from authorities or election officials who get involved. They must not force people to direct or win certain candidates. I think we must protect this together,” Warits explained.

Participatory supervision itself, Warits stated, is the activity of ensuring the process of Pilkada stages by collecting data, information, and inventorying findings related to the implementation of the Pilkada by independent and non-partisan community groups or organizations. “Participatory supervision aims to ensure the conduct of honest, fair, clean, and transparent elections whose results can be accepted by all parties, both Pilkada participants and the wider community,” clarified Warits.

**Realize a Good Pilkada** Because of the many ‘dawn attacks’ in the last election, Warits advised that this Pilkada must be protected together, synergized together to be honest, fair, and safe from all fraud. “Yes, we must guard it together. Because it is impossible for Bawaslu alone, the KPU only has six people with its secretariat in each sub-district. Three PPS, three PPS secretariat. They have six people plus seven PKD members, seven people in each village guarding sub-districts with thousands of residents, even tens of thousands. To guard against ‘dawn attacks,’ it’s impossible to handle alone. Therefore, it must be guarded together,” Warits advised. Warits said that citizens can only vote in the Pilkada if their mental condition is not insane or they are sane. This means that those who can vote are those who think and are normal. “Do not let the thoughts of the people who can vote be bought at a very cheap price, even cheaper than a chicken. That is an insult to the people. Because those who cannot think should not vote. For example, insane people are regulated by law and should not be included in the DPT. Thus, synergy among all of us is necessary to realize a better Pilkada. I think it’s important,” he stated.

**Duties and Responsibilities of Pantarlih** Each Polling Station (Tempat Pemungutan Suara) has one Pantarlih. However, if the number of voters in one TPS exceeds 400 voters, the Regency/Municipal KPU and PPS can appoint two Pantarlih for that TPS. This is intended to ensure that the voter data update process runs efficiently and accurately. The primary duties of Pantarlih include: Helping the Regency KPU, PPK, and PPS in compiling the voter list. Conducting voter data matching and research. Providing registered proof to voters. Submitting the results of the matching and research to the PPS. Performing other tasks assigned by the KPU, Provincial KPU, PPK, and PPS according to regulations. The responsibilities of Pantarlih include: Coordinating with PPS in compiling the voter list from the update results. Compiling and submitting reports to PPS on the implementation of the matching and research. Being accountable to PPS in performing their duties. Technically, according to KPU Decision Number 27 of 2023 on Technical Guidelines for Voter List Compilation, Pantarlih also has duties such as attending technical guidance, preparing work plans, coordinating with PPS and RT/RW, conducting coklit, making daily reports, determining potential TPS addresses, compiling coklit results reports, handing over all work tools to PPS, and assisting PPS in compiling the voter list. In carrying out all their duties and responsibilities, Pantarlih must be accountable to PPS to ensure that the voter data update process runs smoothly and according to established procedures.

Previously, NTB KPU Chairman Muhammad Khuwailid invited the Dompu community to come together to the polling stations to vote in the election of the Regent/Deputy Regent and the Governor/Deputy Governor. He stated that each stage and process of the Pilkada cannot be carried out independently. Collaboration of all elements is the key to the success of the Pilkada implementation.

The voter data updating system for this simultaneous regional election is different from the previous election. In the previous election, voter data came from local governments and the Ministry of Home Affairs, while this year’s regional elections data only came from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

n”The role of the media is very important in the success of the 2024 simultaneous elections, especially in providing political education and maintaining public order,” said Sigit in his speech, quoted from Antara, Tuesday (June 18, 2024)
