The independent candidate pair was declared ineligible (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on Tuesday, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner's request and the response from KPU as the respondent.

"This hearing focuses on the KPU's decision declaring that the independent candidates did not meet the minimum support requirements," stated Arifudin. The adjudication process at Bawaslu Malang City lasts a maximum of 12 working days from the start of the closed deliberation, and it is now on the fourth day. If on schedule, the decision will be read on July 3.

Chairman of Bawaslu Malang City, Mochammad Arifudin, stated that the petitioner's main points, namely the independent candidate pair Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, had been presented. However, the respondent's response was postponed to June 26, 2024. "The respondent was not ready to provide their response. We have also not received the draft from the respondent," stated Arifudin after the hearing. The dispute arose after the KPU's administrative verification results declared that the Sam HC-Rizky Boncel pair had only submitted 40,689 support documents out of the minimum requirement of 48,882 supports needed to become independent candidates in the 2024 Pilkada. Meanwhile, according to Sam HC-Rizky Boncel, they had 54,000 supports. In a closed mediation at Bawaslu Malang City on June 22, no agreement was reached, leading to the adjudication hearing.

**Explanation from Candidates and KPU** The spokesperson for the legal team of the petitioner (Sam HC – Rizky Boncel), Susianto, demanded that KPU Malang City re-verify the data of 13,615 supports that were declared ineligible (TMS). "We have proposed three options: re-upload the data to the Candidacy Information System (Silon), manual counting, or re-administrative verification," stated Susianto. He added that there are real data such as support letters accompanied by scanned e-KTPs and excel data of the support counts that were deemed TMS. The Sam HC team requests that KPU re-upload this data to the Candidacy Information System (Silon). "That is what we are disputing in this process. We also want a maximum deadline of seven days for re-uploading the data," stated Susianto.

**Duties and Responsibilities of Pantarlih** Each Polling Station (Tempat Pemungutan Suara) has one Pantarlih. However, if the number of voters in one TPS exceeds 400 voters, the Regency/Municipal KPU and PPS can appoint two Pantarlih for that TPS. This is intended to ensure that the voter data update process runs efficiently and accurately. The primary duties of Pantarlih include: Assisting the Regency KPU, PPK, and PPS in compiling the voter list. Conducting voter data matching and research. Providing registered proof to voters. Submitting the results of the matching and research to the PPS. Performing other tasks assigned by the KPU, Provincial KPU, PPK, and PPS according to regulations. The responsibilities of Pantarlih include: Coordinating with PPS in compiling the voter list from the update results. Compiling and submitting reports to PPS on the implementation of the matching and research. Being accountable to PPS in performing their duties. Technically, according to KPU Decision Number 27 of 2023 on Technical Guidelines for Voter List Compilation, Pantarlih also has duties such as attending technical guidance, preparing work plans, coordinating with PPS and RT/RW, conducting coklit, making daily reports, determining potential TPS addresses, compiling coklit results reports, handing over all work tools to PPS, and assisting PPS in compiling the voter list. In carrying out all their duties and responsibilities, Pantarlih must be accountable to PPS to ensure that the voter data update process runs smoothly and according to established procedures.
