Who is Transporting the Ballot Papers Between Kupang & Batugade?
The PNTL will undertake tomorrow (June 26, 2012) the transportation of the recently printed ballot papers intended for the parliamentary elections from the border town of Batugade to Dili. While we have been made aware of and are satisfied with the security arrangements for the transportation of the ballot papers within Timor-Leste, we are unsure of the security arrangements surrounding the transportation leading up to the handover in Batugade. The electoral authorities decided to print the ballot papers in Kupang, West Timor and Fundasaun Mahein (FM) is unsure on what the transportation arrangements are between Kupang and Batugade.
FM is calling out for the release of more information by the relevant authorities on the security preparations regarding the transport of the ballot papers between Kupang until the handover to the PNTL in Batugade. Will transportation be entrusted to the corresponding Indonesian security actors? Or have other arrangements been made with outside actors?
People should be made aware of such an important matter as FM is worried about potential outside interference if sufficient security measures are not taken, which would risk the legitimacy of the elections. FM wishes the safe transportation to Dili of the ballot papers tomorrow.
