RRI Correspondent in HK Gea Rara Hayu Arimbi
The Hong Kong Foreign Election Committee (PPLN) on Monday began to send C6 Form or invitation to vote for voters who are listed in the Hong Kong Permanent Voters List (DPT). Chairman of the committee Christopher Suganda Supranto told RRI correspondent in Hong Kong on Monday that the committee prioritized sending C6 Forms to voters who had given clear addresses and the latest data. This is to avoid the voters not getting C6 Forms, as found in a number of ballots sent by post.
"We have sent the forms for voters in Hong Kong, but not all of them. We send to those who are listed in the Permanent Voters’ List (DPT), if the are confirmation on the address. When we conducted socialization, we did data collection, matched biodata in our list. There are also many Indonesian Migrant Workers who provide information to us that they have moved. The addresses where they live are matched with our data. So we send to them first," said

Of the total Permanent Voters List in Hong Kong which reached 180,232 people, those choose to come to the polling station (TPS) and already registered are 23,326 people. These C6 forms will be sent to them. While for Indonesian citizens who have not registered, they can immediately come to the polling station on the polling day on April 14, 2019 and immediately get C6 Form at the registration desk before they submit their voting rights. The C6 Form in Hong Kong is sent by post. This delivery process can take up to three days. (KBRN/LUNA/VOI)
