Jakarta – The House of Representatives' Commission II on home affairs and regional autonomy has called for revision of the law on election administration after finding 30 out of 45 elections sparked controversies, with some of them going to court.

Deputy chairman of the commission Taufik Effendi said Friday the amendment was pressing to avoid electoral disputes in the future.

Taufik, a former state administrative reform minister, discovered problems ranging from voter roll to voting method during his visit to the Lampung regency of Pesawaran to monitor the regional election there on Friday.

"Ballot papers that were perforated could ignite disputes as there was no clear rule of the game," Taufik of the Democratic Party said as quoted by kompas.com. The election law says voters need only to tick their respective choices of candidate, rather than punching them as happened in the past.

Disputes over election results have also sparked acts of violence, the latest taking place in the West Nusa Tenggara regency of Bima and the North Sumatra regency of Samosir. Last month angry mob set fire on dozens of cars to protest disqualification of their candidate for the election in Mojokerto, East Java.

Joining Taufik in the trip were his fellow Democratic Party lawmaker Gray Koes Moertiyah and Sukiman of the National Mandate Party.
