Transvestite voters no problem
Jakarta - Election officials in an Indonesian province have come up with a pragmatic solution to a potentially tricky problem posed by transvestite voters in next month's presidential election.
Polling station officials compiling forms will register them as female if they arrive dressed as women and as men if they wear male clothing, an official was quoted by Monday's Jakarta Post as saying.
Lodewyk, chairperson of the election commission in Central Kalimantan, said the decision was taken to avoid any problems on July 5 when some 150 million Indonesians nationwide are eligible to vote.
