It seems like there's a potential issue regarding the 2024 local elections (Pilkada) in Indonesia. The General Elections Commission (KPU) and the House of Representatives (DPR) are scheduled to discuss the legal foundation for re-running an election if a "blank box" (kotak kosong) wins.
A "blank box" refers to a situation where no candidate receives a majority of votes, leaving the option open for a runoff election. In this case, the Ketua Komisi II DPR is urging that a re-run election be held as soon as possible if a "blank box" emerges victorious in any given region.
The KPU and DPR are set to discuss the legal framework for handling such an unprecedented situation. It will be interesting to see how they proceed and what solutions they come up with to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
