Batang KPU Records 644,644 Voters in Q2 2026, an Increase of 6,057

The Election Commission (KPU) of Batang Regency, Central Java, has reported a total of 644,644 registered voters for the second quarter of 2026. This figure marks a notable increase of 6,057 voters from the 638,587 recorded in the first quarter.

The results of the second quarter 2026 update recorded 644,644 people. This number of voters consists of 322,101 males and 322,543 females.

Susanto Waluyo, the head of KPU Batang, stated that the ongoing voter data updates are a routine quarterly agenda aimed at maintaining the accuracy of the voter list. "The results of the second quarter 2026 update recorded 644,644 people. This number of voters consists of 322,101 males and 322,543 females," he announced in Batang on Thursday.

“

The change in the number of voters is influenced by the addition of new voters and the removal of voter data that is no longer eligible (TMS).

The fluctuations in voter numbers are influenced by both the addition of new eligible voters and the removal of those who are no longer qualified (TMS). During the second quarter, 10,778 new voters were added to the continuous voter list. Conversely, 4,721 voters were removed from the list, primarily due to relocation outside the region or death.

“

The majority of voters categorized as ineligible are from residents who have moved their domicile out of the area or have passed away.

KPU Batang is strengthening its coordination with the Civil Registration and Population Department (Disdukcapil) to ensure that changes in population data are promptly incorporated into the voter information system. Waluyo urged the public to actively report deceased family members or residents to Disdukcapil, emphasizing that reporting should extend to the issuance of death certificates to maintain synchronization between population data and the voter list.

“

This reporting is not sufficient only at the village or sub-district level, but needs to be continued to the process of issuing a death certificate. This step is considered important so that population data and the voter list remain synchronized and facilitate the process of striking off voter data that is no longer eligible.
