1. What is DPT and Why is it Important?

DPT, or Permanent Voter List, is the final list that displays the names of voters who are eligible to participate in the general election, processed and validated by the KPU based on data from DPSHP. It is important to ensure that your name is registered, because according to KPU Regulation Number 7 of 2024, only voters listed in the DPT, DPTb (Additional Voter List), or DPK (Special Voter List) are entitled to exercise their voting rights.

The KPU also emphasizes that voters who are not registered in the DPT can still vote as DPK voters under certain conditions and timeframes, so make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to determining the future!

2. How to Check DPT Through the Official KPU Website

The KPU now offers a practical solution for the public who want to check voter data online, accessible through various devices. It’s very easy! First, visit the official KPU website at cekdptonline.kpu.go.id.

After that, enter your NIK in the provided column. Next, for the verification process, simply enter your WhatsApp number to receive an OTP code, then confirm that code. Shortly after, if you are registered, important information such as your name, address, and polling station location will appear on the screen. Easy and fast, right?

3. How to Check Voter List Through the KPU RI Mobile Application

Good news for voters! The KPU now presents an official application that makes it easy for you to check the Permanent Voter List (DPT) quickly and conveniently. Just download the "KPU RI" app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, then go to the "Check Voter" menu and enter your NIK and the required data.

4. Solution If Not Registered in the Voter List

If your name is not registered when checking, don't worry! You still have the opportunity to exercise your voting rights as a Special Voter (DPK). Although the "Self-Report" feature on cekdptonline.kpu.go.id has been closed since August 2024, you can still vote on election day.

Make sure to arrive one hour before the polling station closes and bring the necessary documents so your vote can still be counted. Don't miss the chance to participate in the election!

5. What is DPT in Local Elections?

This DPT is an important milestone in ensuring that every vote cast in the election is valid and counted, allowing every citizen to participate fully in the democratic process.

6. Can I choose if I'm not registered in the DPT?
