INFOKU, BLORA – The Blora Regency General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has taken preventive measures by issuing a letter of appeal to village heads throughout Blora Regency.
This was done as a preventive measure and to highlight the potential for violations of neutrality, which were carried out by 295 village and sub-district heads, considering that the campaign stages will be held in less than a week.
Blora Bawaslu member, Muhammad Mustain said, the potential for village heads to be less neutral during the campaign stage is very vulnerable, such as making decisions or taking actions that benefit or harm candidate pairs.
Therefore, Bawaslu appealed to all village heads and sub-district heads in Blora Regency to remain neutral.

"Village heads or sub-district heads and village officials must maintain integrity and professionalism by upholding neutrality," he said in a written statement, Wednesday (18/9/2024).
Mustain said that ASN and village officials are prohibited from engaging in practical politics or expressing attitudes that benefit or harm candidate pairs in regional election contests.
"Because there are legal and criminal consequences," he added.
Some of the points of appeal conveyed by Bawaslu to all village heads and their staff include maintaining neutrality during the election stages.

Furthermore, Bawaslu also appealed to village heads and sub-district heads not to get involved in candidate pair campaigns, and appealed to village heads and village officials to be careful in using social media.
"Giving likes or comments on the candidate pair's social media is a form of non-neutrality, of course we urge village heads and village officials to be careful in using social media," he said. (Endah/ IST )
