PADA HARI RABU tigapekan yang lalu, setelah selesai semua urusan antar mengantar anak ke sekolah dan sarapan di Station Premium Coffee, saya langsung ke kantor untuk bersiap-siap ke Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (LP) Kelas II Lhokseumawe di Gampong Jawa, Kecamatan Banda Sakti. Saya juga harus hubungi pihak Panwaslih untuk ikut bersama-sama ke sana. Rencananya sekitar pukul 10.00 WIB kami gerak, namun karena rekan dari Panwas belum siap, kami geser ke jam 10.30 WIB.

Sebelum berangkat dari kantor, saya minta ke staf sekretariat untuk menyiapkan surat-surat yang diperlukan terkait usulan pengadaan tempat pemungutan suara di lokasi khusus. Lapas merupakan salah satu lokasi khusus yang disebutkan dalam peraturan KPU.

Pukul 10.30 tepat, Buk Sofhia dari Panwas mengatakan mereka sudah ready, saya pun bergerak dari kantor. Kami janjian ketemu di lapas.

Setelah laporan ke petugas di depan, pintu besi bgaian depan penjara dibuka. Pintunya kecil kayak jendela. Kami masuk ke sana dan kemudian diantar untuk ketemu dengan pejabat terkait di lapas. Biasanya kami jumpa dengan kepala lapas, tapi karena masih plt, belum dilantik pejabat definitif, kami merasa cukup dengan yang membidangi data penghuni lapas saja.

Kurang dari sejam kami di sana, terus kami pamit. Kami sudah mendapatkan informasi yang cukup tentang penghuni lapas. Sebelumnya kami pun sudah pernah berkunjung untuk koordinasi tahap awal menjelang pelaksanaan Pemilu 2024.

Setelah keluar dari lapas, kami menuju ke Achek Coffee, sedangkan teman-teman panwas harus kembali ke kantor karena ada yang perlu disiapkan. Saya satu tim dari kantor berempat. Semuanya order kopi pandan. Best seller di kafe ini. Rasanya sulit untuk diungkapkan.

Cukup lama kami duduk di kafe sembari menikmati kopi pandan dan kentang dengan saus spesial dari warung burger di sebelah Achek. Saya agak santai karena untuk jemput anak-anak dari sekolah sudah saya serahkan ke istri. Baru beranjak dari Acheck pukul 12.00 WIB.

Sampai di kantor saya menyelesaikan tugas-tugas lain termasuk memberi laporan ke KIP Aceh tentang kegiatan yang baru kami lakukan di lapas. Saat kegiatan dengan KPU di kemang, Jakarta Selatan minggu sebelumnya, Komisioner KPU RI, Betty Epsilon Idroos yang membidangi data pemilih, memberi penekanan agar sepulang dari sana kami langsung melakukan koordinasi keembali dengan pihak lapas.

Karena banyak hal yang saya lakukan, baru pulang dari kantor pukul 21.30 WIB.

ON WEDNESDAY three weeks ago, after finishing all the business of taking the children to school and having breakfast at the Premium Coffee Station, I went straight to the office to get ready for Class II Lhokseumawe Correctional Institution (LP) in Gampong Jawa, Banda Sakti District. I also had to contact the Panwaslih to go there together. We planned to move around 10.00 WIB, but because the Panwas colleagues were not ready, we moved it to 10.30 WIB.

Before leaving the office, I asked the secretariat staff to prepare the necessary documents related to the proposed procurement of voting stations at special locations. Lapas is one of the special locations mentioned in KPU regulations.

At 10.30 sharp, Buk Sofhia from Panwas said they were ready, I moved from the office. We made an appointment to meet at the prison.

After reporting to the officer in front, the iron door to the front of the prison was opened. The door is as small as a window. We entered there and were then escorted to meet with the relevant officials at the prison. Usually we meet with the head of the prison, but because we are still acting, we have not yet appointed a definitive official, we feel that it is enough for those who are in charge of data on prison residents to be sufficient.

We were there less than an hour, then we said goodbye. We have obtained sufficient information about prison inmates. Previously, we had also visited to coordinate the early stages ahead of the implementation of the 2024 elections.

After leaving the prison, we headed to Achek Coffee, while the supervisory committee members had to return to the office because they had things to prepare. I am a team of four offices. Everyone ordered pandan coffee. Best seller in this cafe. It's hard to describe.

We sat in the cafe for a long time while enjoying pandan coffee and potatoes with special sauce from the burger shop next to Achek. I'm a bit relaxed because I have left it to my wife to pick up the children from school. Just left Acheck at 12.00 WIB.

Arriving at the office I completed other tasks including submitting a report to the Aceh KIP about the activities we had just carried out at the prison. During an activity with the KPU in Kemang, South Jakarta the previous week, the KPU RI Commissioner, Betty Epsilon Idroos, who is in charge of voter data, emphasized that after returning from there we immediately coordinated again with the prison authorities.

Because I do a lot of things, I just got home from work at 21.30 WIB.
