Some areas may vote again
Article Abstract:
The Indonesian government is eyeing the possibility of conducting a new set of polls in remote provinces where corruption and fraud have been allegedly rampant. Although the plan would not create substantial changes to the outcome of the national polls, analysts believe that the move would create a certain degree of political uncertainty in the country. According to reports, the Golongan Karya ruling party committed serious electoral violations by resorting to illegal polling booths, coercion and multiple voting.
