Depok, IO – Polling Station Working Committee (KPPS) personnel wear traditional costume while on duty serving residents who want to cast their votes at the RW 03 polling station (TPS) in Depok, West Java, Wednesday (14/2).
Featuring the theme Kerajaan Nusantara (Kingdoms of the Archipelago), a number of polling stations at this location were decorated with royal concepts originating from various ancient kingdoms in Indonesia. TPS 14-20, set up on an open field, feature the kingdoms of Sultan Iskandar Muda, Samudera Pasai, Java, Bali, Medan, Toraja and Pasundan.
KPPS deputy chair Falah Safaat said that apart from attracting voters to the TPS, the thematic set up also aims to remind people, especially the younger generation, that Indonesia has a history of great kingdoms.
