Jakarta – Megawati Soekarnoputri won the most votes from her polling station in Kebagusan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday morning, but some people registered to vote failed to turn up.
Megawati collected a total of 110 votes, followed by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono with 89 votes and Jusuf Kalla with 21 votes.
However, some registered voters failed to vote. Out of a total 387 eligible voters at the polling station, 174 did not show up.
Murniati, head of the polling station where Megawati cast her vote, said his working committee had distributed all invitations to the registered voters.
"We distributed the invitations to each registered voter. We did our best and it's up to them whether or not they choose to vote," Murniati told kompas.com.
Out of the 231 people that voted at the Kebagusan polling station, four unregistered residents voted by showing their identity cards. (ewd)
