Jakarta. The chief of the National Police said on Friday that officers were looking at urban areas and would assign two officers to every polling station to ensure the smooth running of the July 9 election.
“The potential conflicts are in big cities like Jakarta,” Gen. Sutarman told reporters. “Hopefully, there won’t be any in the regions.”
In addition to Indonesia’s larger cities, Sutarman added that police would focus on conflict-prone areas such Poso in Central Sulawesi, as well as Aceh and Papua.
“We have prepared the security for all stages,” he said, “starting from the printing and distribution of election logistics to the polling stations,” he said, adding that all election materials would be transported with a police escort.
