The size of paper used for voting in the election simulation in Jakarta on Saturday was troubling simulation participants, said a member of Center for General Election Reform.
A member of the NGO, Erika Widyaningsih, said that participants had found it hard to fold the paper pack. The size of the voting booth was also too small for the paper, she said.
"So far, the main concern of the participants was the size of the voting paper," Erika said during the simulation at the General Election Commission.
She also added that the size of the paper was not in scale with the name of the political parties and the candidates for the legislative council. "The name of the parties and candidates are too small, making it hard for voters to read," she said.
A first time voter, 17-year old Retno, agreed that the size of the paper was too big and that it was hard for her to unfold. "There are a lot of parties. So, it was hard opening the paper," she said. (and)
