REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - KPU RI allowed campaign activities in the 2024 Local Elections (Local Elections) series to be held on campus, with records of campaign activities that have been granted permission and do not carry attributes. The Commission confirmed that the move was in accordance with the ruling of the Constitutional Court (MK).

“We would like to convey that some other decisions of the Court, for example related to the regulation of campaign permits on campus, that we must also follow, we treat it equally,” said Chairman of KPU RI Mochammad Afifuddin during a press conference at KPU RI Jakarta, Thursday (22/8/2024) evening.

The Commission will adopt the provisions allowing election campaigns on campus into the Commission's (PKPU) regulations on campaigning. “With regard to the campaign on campus that is allowed, it will later be adapted in other PKPU,” he said.

Earlier, on Tuesday (20/8/2024), the Court in Decision Number: 69/PUU-XXII/2024 ruled that the election campaign may be conducted on campus. Such activities can be carried out as long as they have obtained permission from the campus and do not carry campaign attributes.
