Forensic audit, according to Hasto, was conducted by experts on February 16th or two days after the voting on February 14th. When the IT expert normalized the Json Script on February 16th at 02:00 in the morning, the vote tally showed Ganjar-Mahfud with 33 percent and Prabowo-Gibran with 43 percent.

"From the results of this forensic audit, the 2024 Presidential Election should be conducted in two rounds. This is because there are no candidate pairs who received more than 51 percent of the votes," said Hasto. Previously, Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU), Hasyim Asy'ari, denied the existence of any algorithm intentionally used to limit the votes for Ganjar-Mahfud to a maximum of 17 percent in the 2024 Presidential Election. He emphasized that the KPU has never targeted the percentage of votes for presidential and vice-presidential candidates."

"The KPU denies that it has never set, never locked, never targeted a specific party, a specific candidate pair, since the beginning it must have a certain number of votes, none at all," explained Hasyim, on Friday, March 8, 2024. He emphasized that the voting process is direct, where voters exercise their right to vote by coming to the polling station on February 14, 2024. Hasyim stated that they cannot control the number of voters who come to the polling station."

"To that end, Hasyim mentioned that the KPU cannot predict or control the vote tally for the presidential election contestants or political parties. He stated that the current percentage of votes for the candidate pairs is the result of vote counting from the TPS. 'This situation has never occurred before. So, the vote tally, whether in the form of actual votes or converted into percentages, all comes from the step-by-step vote counting from the TPS,' said Hasyim."
