The Ministry of Home Affairs held an activity to disseminate information on the determination of political parties participating in the 2024 General Elections.

“This event was held to support the successful implementation of the 2024 elections, as well as ensure the support of the central and local governments,” director of domestic politics at the ministry Syarmadani said here on Wednesday.

The success of the 2024 general elections will be determined by the synergy of the elements involved such as election organizers, central and local governments, security forces, candidates, political parties, supporters, the press, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the public.

According to him, it is important to follow the plan from the beginning to the end to make the elections run smoothly.

In addition to responsible voter participation, reliable election organizers can ensure the smooth implementation of general elections.

Meanwhile, director of political, legal, and security affairs information at the Communication and Information Ministry Bambang Gunawan said that there are three goals of disseminating information to the public regarding the 2024 elections.

The first is to increase public knowledge about elections, including the organizers, participants, voters, regulations, governance, stages, and schedules of activities.

The second is to raise public awareness about the importance of elections, and the third is to increase people’s participation in exercising their right to vote.

The method of educating the public about elections can be face-to-face such as holding an audience or a public discussion.

Another means can be the media, such as online media, electronic media, print media, or social media, that has indirect interaction with a wider audience.

The activity on Wednesday was attended by a number of speakers, such as General Elections Commission (KPU) member Betty Idroos, General Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) member Herwyn Malonda, and Honorary Board of Election Organizers (DKPP) member Josef Kristiadi.
