Usai Nyoblos, Pj Gubernur Rumasukun Harap Pemilu Berjalan Aman dan Lancar

JAYAPURA - Penjabat (Pj) Gubernur Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun berharap proses pencoblosan yang berlangsung pada 14 Februari 2024 ini, berlangsung aman dan lancar serta bisa segera ditayangkan hasilnya kepada publik.

"Sehingga dari Pemilu ini kita bisa memperoleh pemimpin yang baru, baik presiden dan wakilnya serta legislatif di tingkat pusat, provinsi, serta kabupaten dan kota," terang Pj Gubernur, usai mencoblos di TPS 33 Kelurahan Waena, Kecamatan Heram, Kota Jayapura, Papua, Rabu (14/2/2024). 

Ditanya soal kendala melakulan pencoblosan di bilik suara, Pj Gubernur mengaku tak kesulitan, namun hal itu dimungkinkan terjadi bagi masyarakat Lanjut Usia (Lansia). 

Dimana mereka akan sedikit kesulitan membuka kertas surat suara DPR provinsi maupun kabupaten dan kota.  

"Bagi kami butuh waktu cukup lama, harusnya hitungan kami bisa hampir 5 menit (karena kertas suara besar). Tetapi jika lansia pasti lebih lama lagi."  

"Tapi semoga tidak mengurangi semangat bagi warga untuk menyalurkan suaranya," harap ia. 

Terpisah Ketua KPU Provinsi Papua Steve Dumbon mengatakan pendistribusian logistik sampai dengan saat ini masih berjalan, karena ada beberapa titik mengalami kendala. 

"Untuk kendala ada di empat titik di Kabupaten waropen, Sarmi, Mamberamo Raya dan Keerom. Ini di titik-titik yang sulit letak geografisnya," ucap dia. 

Kendati demikian, prosesnya masih terus diupayakan, harapannya bisa segera tersalurkan dengan baik. 

"Untuk waktu pencoblosan sesuai undang-undang pukul 07.00 hingga pukul 13:00. Sehingga di Papua tidak bisa memenuhi itu." 

"Tapi kami sudah laporkan ke pusat kemungkinan akan melanggar aturan. Hanya ini karena kondisi seperti itu sehingga KPU berharap yang penting hari ini masyarakat bisa mencoblos," tandasnya. ***

JAYAPURA - Acting Governor of Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun hopes that the voting process, which will take place on February 14, 2024, will be safe and smooth and can soon broadcast the results to the public.

"So that from this election, we can get new leaders, both the president and his deputy as well as the legislature at the central, provincial, and district and city levels," explained the Acting Governor, after voting at polling station 33 Waena Village, Heram District, Jayapura City, Papua, Wednesday (2/14/2024).

Asked about the obstacles to voting at the voting booth, the Acting Governor admitted that it was not difficult, but it was possible for the elderly society.

They will have little difficulty opening the ballot papers of provincial and district and city parliaments.

"For us, it took quite a long time, we should have been counting almost 5 minutes (because the ballot paper was big). It takes longer for the elderly."

"But hopefully it will not reduce the enthusiasm for residents to channel their voices," he hoped.

The Chairman of Papua Provincial General Election Commission, Steve Dumbon said that logistics distribution is still running because there are several points experiencing obstacles.

"There are four points in Waropen, Sarmi, Mamberamo Raya and Keerom regencies. This is at difficult points geographically," he said.

Nevertheless, the process is still being pursued, hopefully it can soon be distributed properly.

"The statutory voting time is 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. So in Papua, it cannot fulfill that."

"But we have reported to the central government about the possibility of breaking the rules. Because of this condition, the General Election Commission hopes that the important thing today people can vote," he said. ***
