Jakarta: Tallying the votes of Indonesia’s almost 125 million voters in all 33 provinces and 77 electoral districts for 14 straight days is a grueling job for anyone, especially when the task at hand involves accommodating complaints from disgruntled political parties.
Throughout the 14 days of the national vote count, some of the plenary hearings lasted until past midnight, resulting in many tired faces among the participants of the hearings, especially General Elections Commission (KPU) commissioners who took turns in presiding over the hearings.
