JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The three-day registration stage for candidates contesting the 2020 regional elections (Pilkada) to be held simultaneously in 270 regions has been deemed a showcase of noncompliance with the Covid-19 health protocol. Strict enforcement measures by state institutions, along with sanctions for violators, are badly needed to prevent more serious violations of the Covid-19 protocol in the upcoming stages of the 2020 Pilkada, including election campaigns.
The candidate registration for the 2020 Pilkada was held from Friday (4/9/2020) through midnight on Sunday (6/9). Data from the General Elections Commission (KPU) shows that 583 candidate pairs had registered in 240 regions by 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
