Jakarta (B2B) - Pemilihan Umum (KPU) RI butuh pembuktian nyata terkait target 75% partisipasi pemilih pada Pemilu Legislatif (Pileg) 9 April 2014.
"Target KPU partisipasi di pemilu 2014 sekitar 75 persen, tetapi kita perlu melihat fakta dan pembuktian di lapangan 9 April apakah sesuai tidak dengan target KPU," kata Ketua KPU RI Husni Kamil Manik di sela acara jalan sehat untuk pemilu berintegritas, di Monas, Jakarta, Minggu (9/3).
Target 75%, katanya, merujuk kepada angka harapan hasil survei lembaga survei bahwa 90 persen penduduk akan berpartisipasi dalam pemilu.
Husni menuturkan, KPU memang belum melakukan survei partisipasi pemilih pemilu 2014. Akan tetapi, KPU mengandalkan hasil survei dari lembaga-lembaga survei yang sudah terdaftar di KPU.
Merujuk informasi hasil survei dari lembaga survei per Februari 2014 menunjukan bahwa keinginan masyarakat berpartisipasi pada Pemilu 9 April mencapai 90%, hal inilah yang menjadi dasar target KPU bahwa partisipasi pemilih di Pemilu mencapai 75%.
"Kalau angka harapan hasil survei 90 persen mudah-mudahan bisa terjadi kenaikan diatas 75 persen yang sudah ditetapkan KPU," tandas Husni.
Angka survei itu menunjukan angka harapan yang menjadi panduan KPU dan peserta pemilu bahwa mayoritas masyarakat berkeinginan berperan serta dalam pemilu. Namun, menurut Husni, hasil survei menunjukan masyarakat belum mengetahui 9 April dilaksanakan Pileg. Pemilih merasa informasi hari H pemilu yang diberikan dari berbagai pihak sudah cukup diketahui sekitar 20%, sedangkan pemilih merasa sudah menerima informasi tetapi belum cukup mengetahui sekitar 50 persen.
"Sisanya adalah pemilih yang merasa cukup mengetahui tetapi belum mendapatkan informasi, namun mayoritas sudah mengetahui informasi Pemilu dilaksanakan 9 April 2014," ujar Husni.
Jakarta (B2B) - The Indonesian General Elections Commission (KPU) has set itself a target of 75 percent of eligible voters taking part in next months legislative elections.
"We have set a 75 percent target. Hopefully, it would be higher than the target," KPU General Chairman Husni Kamil Manik said here on Sunday.
Husni mentioned a latest survey result registered by the KPU last February. He said the number of eligible voters who would exercise their voting rights reached 90 percent.
"The voters consistently want to use their voting rights. It should be differentiated between those who have just expressed interest to vote and those who were recorded based on a factual survey result in the fields. At least, we will use the survey figures as our reference that the majority of people want to vote," the KPU Chairman said.
Referring to the opinion that there were still many people who have no enough information about the polling day, the KPU chairman said that various sides had given enough information.
He explained that about 20 percent of the people considered information on elections was already enough, 50 percent said they had got information but they were not yet satisfied while the remaining 30 percent said they had not yet obtained information regarding the implementation of the elections.
"Some of them already know that the legislative elections will be held on April 9, 2014," Husni said.
The KPU announced on February 20 last month the revised list of eligible voters (DPT) which totaled 158.8 million for the upcoming legislative elections on April 9, 2014.
