One good example is the presence of the Cross Sectoral Traffic Coordination Meeting in the Seluma district of Bengkulu Province, which on the occasion, the Chief of Resor Police (Kapolres) Seluma that the main purpose of the Rakor was to discuss how security measures were taken during the Pilkada process.
