The General Election Commission (KPU) of Banyumas Regency, in improving the quality of the electoral or regional head election voter list, not only relies on the potential voter population data (DP4) obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs but also uses data from the previous year's elections or regional head elections as comparative data. In one of the stages of the regional election process, namely the preparation of voter data up to the determination of voter data, the General Election Commission (KPU) is assisted by the Sub-District Election Committee (PPK), the Village Election Committee (PPS), and the Election Supervisory Officer (Pantarlih). In the General Election Commission Regulation Number 7 of 2022 concerning the preparation of voter data, Pantarlih is formed by PPS to conduct COKLIT by visiting houses to obtain the latest data which will later be used as DPS. DPS that undergoes corrections is called DPSHP, and DPSHP will become DPT after 40 days of corrections. The DPT also undergoes improvements called DPTHP until the data can be finalized and recapitulated as the Recapitulated Permanent Voter Data. The establishment of the voter list in accordance with procedures by the General Election Commission (KPU) is the spearhead in strengthening the democratic system, a provision that requires every citizen to be registered as a voter in the permanent voter list (DPT). The conduct of an election with integrity is not merely a formalistic and procedural election, but an election carried out democratically and involving the people as the subjects of the general election.
