JAKARTA, KOMPAS - Breakthroughs need to be made by the General Elections Commission (KPU) to ease the burden of poll volunteers as the nation braces for the simultaneous legislative and presidential elections in 2024.

The issue of excessive working has become more of a concern given the fact there is no revision of the Election Law and the Constitutional Court has rejected the filed judicial review over the Election Law provision related to the simultaneousness of the election.
