VIVAnews - Around 100 students aligned in the Indonesia Student's Executive Board (BEM) held a demonstration at the General Elections Commission (KPU) office. They asked the commission to immediately accommodate students who could lose their rights to vote in the April 9 election.
"There are more than a million students in Indonesia who could become administrative abstentious," said Suranto Wahyu, the coordinator of Indonesia BEM, in front of KPU's office on Wednesday, March 25.
The students who are in possible threat of losing their voting right are those who have changed domiciles because they study in different area and they are not registered as voters in the new place.
The record on students who are possible not able to vote is gathered based on reports from every BEM in Indonesia.
The possible administrative abstentious students are 40,000 students from Jakarta, 40,000 from Semarang, 20,000 from Yogyakarta, 40,000 from Sumatra, 20,000 from Bogor, 15,000 from Bandung, and 10,000 from Surabaya. The number increases from areas that have less than 10,000 students.
The students asked the commission to make a special policy so they can vote easily in their new places.
Wahyu said that students are intellectual and rational voters. If the problem faced by these students is not accommodated, he is worried that the election quality will decrease.
In the peace rally in front of the commission's office, they brought a banner on which written: "It's difficult just to vote".
