Mistake in DPT, Losing the Vote Right

The general election which had been held in April 9, 2009 still leaves some dissatisfaction for public. Start from invalid voter data, the time of election which is limited (just until 12 A.M), damaged vote paper, etc. The problems absolutely make public feel disappointed, even they lose their chance to vote. Democracy party should give the public a freedom to vote their favorite legislative candidate, but they have to lose their right instead. Actually, that is not fair for them, especially for the mistake of voter data case, where public can not give their vote in general election eventually. If there are many people lose their vote, it will give effect the result of this general election. It also influences for voting account of legislative candidates which should be chosen. This paper will review why it can be happen, and then discuss who will responsible for this case, also responding from they who involve inside.

The discourse for realization of general election is never end to be talked. There are many technical problems which can’t be solved by KPU. Ironically, public have to get the effect of it. As Indonesia citizen we have right to choose and to be chosen, but the fact is different. Some of them have to lose their rights in general election causing of simple case, mistake of constant voter data (DPT). On the outside of the statistic data validity question of Indonesia citizen now, the encoding for processing of voter in this general election get a problem. It is caused by many related factors, such as the working of KPU member to write the voter data and the variety of cases finding in constant voter data (DPT). Perppu (regulation in law) number 1, 2009 which becomes a law base of voter data repairing shows the confession of government about this chaos. Many of people confess that they haven’t been registered in DPT yet, moreover for them who follow the general election for first time. This case doesn’t just happen in one area, but some. Then, when they want to register themselves, the KPUD party doesn’t serve them well, said that they have come late to concern this case. So, some of them lose their vote indirectly. Besides, there are some people doesn’t care with this case because they are very busy to handle it. If they are not registered, so they will not give their vote, just simple.

Responding for this case is variety. There’s one said that he never been registered in DPT, then according to some people who lived in Solo said that there are no official come to their house, for encoding data processing, and state that , “don’t blame if we doesn’t choose.” Another problem happens to the student of University in Solo who wants to move her voter data, from Jakarta to solo, but the official in Jakarta refused it because it was late. That student feel so disappointed with this case, it makes her losing her rights to vote.

According that problem, who will give responsible? KPU or public? So, we have to look at not just one side. KPU should give the better serve for public to hold better general election this year. They have to be careful with encoding for processing the voter, and recheck whether the voter data is complete or not. Then take a step soon if there is any problem with it, and minimize the problem which can be happen. Also the KPU member can serve the public if they get difficult for this term. In the other hand, we are as citizen also has to care with this problem. As can as possible, we concern if there’s any mistake for encoding processing the voter data, do not just wait until the official come to our house. We have a right to vote, don’t let them just to stop us. This misunderstanding often can be avoided, the KPU party itself doesn’t want to be blame, and does the public. So, what we can do is give cooperation with KPU party to achieve the better general election.

In conclusion, there are many problems happened in general election which had been held at April 9, 2009, just some days ago. The problem itself is related with the mistake of DPT, so make some of people lose their right in that democracy parties. Basically, KPU should take responsible whether this general election run successfully or not, but we are as citizens also give contribution in this realization. Besides, all of party in this country, whoever are they, give support to next general election to vote the next leader in Indonesia.
