Jakarta, Election Supervisory Body - Bawaslu member Fritz Edward Siregar revealed, there are articles with new norms included in several draft Bawaslu Regulations (Perbawaslu) that adjust the conditions and situations of handling the COVID-19 pandemic that has been approved by Commission II of the Indonesian Parliament.

"Many new things and norms are regulated by the Regional Election Supervisory Board because of this co-19," he said while presenting the Regional Election Supervisory Draft on Supervision, Handling of Reports of Violations, and Dispute Resolution on the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors Continued in 2020 at Hearing Meeting (RDP) at Commission II of the Indonesian House of Representatives in Jakarta, Monday (06/22/2020).

He added that the principles of health protocols became the new norm in the oversight function and were regulated in the new draft Regional Election Board. Then, the handling of violations by Bawaslu can also be done online (in the network) so that the report can be done virtually or 'online'.

For the examination hearing, continued the lecturer at the University of STH Indonesia Jentera, it can be done online or directly. If done directly, according to him must pay attention to health protocols. "The hearing of the TSM violation or dispute can be done online or directly. If done directly, we must pay attention to health protocols, "explained Fritz.

According to the Coordinator of the Legal, Public Relations, and Datin Bawaslu Division, the draft of a number of the Regional Election Supervisory Body is to add at the same time complement the existing Regional Election Board. Previously, he said, since the 2018 elections, Bawaslu has issued several Regional Election Committees such as Regional Election Board Number 14 of 2016 or Regional Election Board Number 9 of 2017.

Fritz asserted, the existing Election Supervisory Body is still valid as long as it does not conflict or is not specifically regulated in the Regional Election Supervisory Body delivered at the current Parliament.

"I am sure that the Regional Election Supervisory Election Examination that already exists is still valid while it does not contradict or is not specifically regulated in this new Regional Election Election," he said.
