REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR -- The police in Indonesia's island resort of Bali has outlined crime-prone areas to ensure security ahead of and after the July 9 presidential election.

"In our effort to ensure security ahead of and after the presidential election, we have mapped sensitive areas because almost all of them are prone to crime," Bali Police Chief Inspector General Albertus Julius Benny Mokalu stated here on Monday.

He noted that the past legislative elections in Bali ran peacefully, and therefore, they want to take the same steps for the presidential election next week.

"Before the past legislative elections, we mapped sensitive areas, and now, we are doing the same for the presidential election," Mokalu noted.

He explained that at least two policemen, assisted by TNI personnel, will be posted at every ballot station to ensure security during the election.
