Individuals who are not meet the requirement -whether to hold an e-KTP or residence certificate in election- will automatically loss their right to vote. Furthermore, Hadar Nafis Gumay stated that it is the duty of the government to arrange a well-structured procedure for each citizen in order to prod the easiness in turning over the ID.
