JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesia’s Election Supervision Agency said Tuesday about 320,000 overseas voters in neighboring Malaysia’s biggest city should vote again in presidential and legislative elections after finding evidence that postal ballots had been tampered with. Election officials rushed to Malaysia last week to investigate claims of vote fraud after videos circulated online showed thousands of ballots for Wednesday’s elections scattered throughout a shophouse. The Election Commission is responsible for organizing elections and the Election Supervision Agency is responsible for overseeing them. About 193 million Indonesians are eligible to vote in the elections for president, the Senate and national, provincial and district legislatures. Bagja said the overseas vote in Sydney should be reopened because many expatriate Indonesians in the Australian city were unable to cast ballots in time.
