The vice president conveyed this in front of the media during a working visit to East Kalimantan, Tuesday, according to information received here.

"We invite all officials involved in the election to act according to the rules, be neutral, and not to take sides with anyone. (Also for all parties), from regional governments to lower level officials, security elements, election organizers, and supervisors to work well," the vice president further noted.

Meanwhile, the vice president also reminded presidential and vice presidential candidates, who have registered along with their supporting political parties and supporters, to not violate applicable regulations.
