One of which must be understood in the general election to stage elections in particular the use of electronic (e-Voting) is the attention and full support of the entire community. Where obstacles are technical and non-technical issues would arise given the plural nature of which is owned by the people of Indonesia for this.
"Preparation of the vote there should be a concern, because the better the preparation the better the successful use of e-voting itself," said Vice Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK) Achmad Sodiki as a keynote speech in the National Dialogue Towards Electronic Elections Indonesia, titled " Opportunities and Challenges in Implementation of Electronic Election in Indonesia "on Tuesday (3/7) at the Auditorium Building, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Jakarta.
It must be realized, Sodiki say again, the political consciousness of the people of Indonesia is uneven; the awareness of the provisions of election law is also uneven. Even in the trial in the Court, there are a number of people or presented witnesses in the trial by each party cannot use the Indonesian language properly and correctly.
"The image of me, how can understand election law, if read in the Indonesian language course cannot," said Sodiki in front of hundreds of national dialogue participants, consisting of the governor, regent, mayor, chairman or member of parliament, as well as the Election Commission from a number of areas in Indonesia.
In addition, the culture and its values are not the same must also be understood in conducting elections. Due Sodiki word, culture in eastern Indonesia is different from the culture in other areas. They voted in the distribution system. Because the collective properties owned by them are not going to explode just a question of the General Election which is set in legislation. "And that’s the way they are to agree to maintain their unity," he explained.
So imagine if Sodiki e-Voting program is also implemented in the community who are not ready with the policy, it would appear the same problem. "I can imagine, if the e-Voting is still being done for them, some also face such constraints," said the Rector of Islamic University of Malang, the period till 1998 2002, 2002 up to 2006.
While Professor of Law also says that the level of technology and education should be prepared in the election. Because most societies of eastern Indonesia are still experiencing difficulties illiterate letter when filling recapitulation of votes cast Elections Supervisory Body (Bawaslu). "So it can not fill out a recap sheet provided. In fact, watching Bawaslu recapitulation is not alone, "he explained.
In addition to the Vice Chairman of the Constitutional Court, an event organized by BPPT in cooperation with the National Election Commission, Bawaslu, and the Ministry of Interior is also listening to the keynote speech of the Chairman of the Commission Husni Kamil Malik, Muhammad as Bawaslu Chairman, and Chairman of the House of Representatives Commission II Agun Gunandjar Sudarsa.
In his speech, Muhammad admitted that the Election process that lasted for almost all end up in institutions MK. Very few Election process does not end up in institutions that are still relatively new. In fact, Muhammad predicted, the process of national elections in 2014, will also end up in the institution’s Court.
One of the reasons why the Election process always end up there, said Muhammad, is a question of legality. The important domain is monitoring the elections. Therefore, he is in every inauguration and technical guidance to tell the ranks of election inspectors to be able to help and contribute to produce that does not end on Election Court, the Bawaslu will prepare the award. "I give motivation like that," he said. (Shohibul Umam / mh/Yazid.tr)
