Jakarta -Member of the Indonesian parliament, Bambang Soesatyo, conveyed the actions of the Nepal youth who held the premier election through the Discord platform that digital technology had a major role in the democratic process. After resigning Prime Minister Sharma Oli, Sushila Karki, who previously served as chair of the Supreme Court, preferred as prime minister. This phenomenon is considered by Bamisoet as a momentum to gradually consider the application of electronic mood or e-vote in the election, from urban areas. “Election is an instrument of people’s sovereignty. If technology can make it faster, accurate, transparent and accountable, why don’t we consider? The important thing is: Don’t be in a hurry, and there must be a strict safety and audit standards, so that public confidence is maintained,” he said in a written statement, Tuesday (9/16/25).

Bam seed assessed that the implementation of e-mere was not new in Indonesia. In 2019, Boyolali Regency, Central -Java, managed to hold an electronic village head election in 70 towns. The process is relatively smooth, voting counting occurs quickly, and logistics costs can be reduced. A year earlier, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java also applied a similar system in 15 towns. The system used at the time was developed by the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) together with the PT Inti Bumn. The results are considered effective, fast, minimal problems and more cost -effective. E-votes answer the classic election problems in Indonesia, namely a double invitation, the remaining ballots that are vulnerable to abuse, for the permanent voters list (DPT) that are often problematic. With this system, the sound is calculated automatically, quickly, and the audit route is clear, both in hand and digital form. E-voting devices were also safely designed because they were not connected to the Internet network during the collection process. The new internet is used when the results are sent according to electronic information security standards. Bamenoet explained in 2009 by decision by decision number 147/Puu-VII/2009 that the e-voting method is valid for use in regional main elections. It is also reinforced by the Number 10 of 2016 regarding Pilkada, which explicitly opens space for the use of electronic devices in the voting process. “If at the level of the village election of the village head, we can do it successfully, why not go any further? We can’t lose quickly with the times. In addition, technology can cover the gap of fraud, high costs and money politics that so far often damage the quality of our election,” Bamsoet said. Bam Seet explained that the experience of several countries was also implemented. For example, as India has used an electronic voting machine (EVM) on a large scale since 1999. Estonia, who became the pioneer of the first online election in the world in 2005, also voted from the internet anywhere. Brazil has also been using e-voting machines since 1996 and is now one of the countries with the most established electronic election system. “If India can export with the number of voters who are nearly one billion, we must also be able. Brazil, the Philippines, until Estonia has proven. We are over, or not,” he said, “he said,” he said, the most important key to the election using e-vot in the political will of the KPU, political parties, the government can choose. A strong symbol that the world is moving to the use of digital technology in the implementation of democracy. Also watch the video: Digitalization Plan, will there be e-mood in the 2024 election?
