This amount is divided by 27 villages in the form of financial assistance. The financial assistance received by each village is not the same. One of the factors for calculating the financial assistance is the large number of voting rights in each village.
"After the committee is formed, it is hoped that they will immediately apply for the disbursement of financial assistance to us," he explained.
Head of Blora DPMD Village Government Administration Division Heksa Wismaningsih said that the implementation of simultaneous village elections was fully handed over to the village.
Pemkab only facilitate and provide input. This is because, through the Village Law, village administrations are given autonomous authority.
