Three motorists, including a relatively older man without a mask, pass by a banner installed by the General Elections Commission (KPU) on Jl. Rawa Mekar Jaya in Serpong, Tangerang, Monday (7/9/2020). The KPU’s banner reminds the public to comply with the Covid-19 health protocol during the 2020 regional elections, which has seen large crowds of hundreds of supporters flout public health and safety measures to cheer on their preferred candidates. Many fear that the simultaneous regional elections will give rise to multiple clusters of Covid-19 infection, even as Indonesia continues to see a daily increase in new cases

The 2020 regional elections (Pilkada) went smoothly. Appreciation should be given to people who spearheaded the event.

Despite the threat of the coronavirus, poll workers ensured that citizens were able to exercise their right to vote. They even visited voters who were in self-isolation suffering from the coronavirus, so voters could exercise their voting right. Their spirit, as well as the spirit of witnesses from competing parties and law enforcement officers were crucial in securing the safety of the democratic process – deserving a thumbs up.
