KP3 is a national program initiated by the General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia in the context of continuing education for voters as cadres who play an active role in conveying electoral information to the wider community.

Because according to him, the Bandung City Government (Pemkot) and the Bandung City KPU have the same obligation to hold elections with quality and integrity.

Therefore, Yana asked all regional officials, both sub-district heads and village heads in Bandung City to assist the Bandung City KPU in the electoral socialization process, including KP3 activities.

So that the participation and active role of all elements of the city of Bandung is very much needed in the success of elections and elections.

“To encourage this active role, a process of information disclosure and voter education is needed. Because voter education is one of the important elements in democracy that will give birth to independent voters," he said.

"And the locus for the city of Bandung is the Antapani Tengah sub-district. How the people in the kelurahan, especially in Central Antapani, are more literate regarding democracy and are stronger towards democracy. So they are ready to play an active role on all fronts, not only as smart voters but also as part of the election organizers," he added.

Suharti further explained, to instill maturity and public awareness about the basic concepts of democracy and basic rights of the community as citizens in addition to other knowledge related to the stages of elections and elections, the Bandung City Election Commission also provides a democratic literacy angle.
