Polling stations (TPS) across Indonesia buzzed with the spirit of democracy today, including the Special Polling Station at the Front Gate Pendopo of PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (NHM). This unique location allowed hundreds of mining company employees to exercise their voting rights during the Simultaneous Regional Elections on November 27, 2024.

From as early as 7:00 WIT, the atmosphere at this TPS was marked by a strong sense of unity and cooperation. With facilities provided by NHM to support employee participation, the voting process proceeded in an orderly and efficient manner. Employees expressed appreciation for the company’s initiative, which enabled them to actively shape the region’s future while remaining in their work environment.

The Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) of North Halmahera Regency commended all personnel involved in managing the Special TPS. Jenfanher Lahi, Coordinator of the Division for Violations Handling and Dispute Resolution at Bawaslu North Halmahera, expressed gratitude for the smooth execution of the voting process.
