Pencoblosan 4


Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has been appointed as polling station (TPS) Special Location (LOCSUS) 901 by the Sleman Regency General Election Committee (KPU). Siti Moendjijah Building UNISA Yogyakarta, Wednesday (14/02) witnessed the democratic process.

Fitri Emiliyana, Chairperson of the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS), expressed her satisfaction with UNISA Yogyakarta’s role in facilitating students from outside the region to cast their votes in the 2024 elections, with the aim of preventing abstention.

“As an institution of higher education, UNISA Yogyakarta participates in the efforts to succeed the democracy in Indonesia,” said Fitri.

Fitri added that the voting process at TPS Loksus 901 went smoothly. “Alhamdulillah, we have done our job well. Regardless of who wins and is elected, our hope is to get a leader who is trustworthy, honest, and able to provide the best for the people of Indonesia.”

Although the list of registered voters at UNISA Yogyakarta’s Loksus 901 polling station totaled 176 people, only 93 people attended the polling day, while 83 others were absent. Nevertheless, the turnout showed the strong enthusiasm of the UNISA Yogyakarta academic community in the democratic process.

With UNISA Yogyakarta becoming a polling station for this part of the democratic process, it is hoped that students and the community involved will be more aware of the importance of their voting rights in shaping the future of the nation.

Pemilu 2024

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah’ (UNISA) Yogyakarta through the Rectors Forum of Muhammadiyah ‘Aisyiyah’ Universities (PTMA) was involved in organizing exit polls and quick counts in the 2024 General Election. The students who were assigned to collect vote scores for quick count purposes were placed in 19 polling stations (TPS), Wednesday (14/02).

Gerry Katon Mahendra, S.IP., M.IP, Head of the Public Administration Study Program at UNISA Yogyakarta, who is also the PIC in Sleman Regency DIY, stated that the exit poll results were obtained from voters who were interviewed using the online method after voting. “The number of sampling stations has been determined in accordance with the sampling method, and each province has a different number of polling stations,” said Gerry.

Gerry hopes that the exit poll and quick count can help oversee the democratic process. “So this is a program of the university rectors forum, and UNISA Yogyakarta is one of those who participated in the implementation,” he added.

UNISA Yogyakarta’s participation in this activity is a form of contribution from Muhammadiyah to the democratic party in Indonesia. Since its formation at the end of 2023, this step has become part of the efforts of the PTMA Rector Forum in fulfilling its responsibility to succeed the political life of the Indonesian nation.

The active involvement of higher education institutions such as UNISA Yogyakarta in the election process shows their commitment to support and ensure a transparent and quality democratic process in Indonesia.

Discussing women’s progress, Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta was honored to receive a visit from Prof. Dr. Nahla Shabry Al-Saeedi, from Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. She was received in the courtroom of Siti Moendjijah building, UNISA Yogyakarta on Friday (09/02).

Prof. Nahla came to UNISA Yogyakarta in order to stay in touch with the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah (PPA) and meet with the leadership of UNISA Yogyakarta. Her presence was warmly welcomed by the Chairperson of the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah, Dr. apt. Salmah Orbayinah, M.Kes, and several other important figures including the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Siti Noordjannah Djohantini, M.M., M.Si, and the Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, and her staff.

During the meeting, Prof. Nahla shared her views on the strategic role of women in society and had a dialogue with all the participants. She expressed her hope to establish cooperation with the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah and UNISA to advance women in various aspects of life.

“I want in this meeting we can make something that supports things related to the future of women. Women’s rights and obligations should not be reduced in any way because the Quran has told us so,” said Nahla.

Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Warsiti in her speech stated that UNISA Yogyakarta, although founded by an Islamic women’s organization, does not limit education to female students. UNISA, as part of ‘Aisyiyah, also encourages its students to play an active role in advancing the ummah, by carrying the mission of Women’s Progress as an Islamic principle.

“This will be the main inspiration for UNISA Yogyakarta to develop various breakthroughs, including in advancing women,” said Dr. Warsiti.

Meanwhile, Chairperson of the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah, Salmah Orbayinah, said that Prof. Nahla’s thoughts were in line with the vision and mission of ‘Aisyiyah since its establishment. As an organization established to advance and ennoble women, ‘Aisyiyah continues to encourage women to get education and take part in the public sphere, an idea promoted by the founders of ‘Aisyiyah, K.H. Ahmad Dahlan and Nyai Walidah.

Prof. Nahla Shabry Al-Saeedi’s visit was not only an important momentum to exchange ideas and experiences, but also to strengthen our mutual commitment to continue advancing the role of women in society. Hopefully, the collaboration between Prof. Nahla, the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah, and UNISA will be a real step in realizing greater progress for Indonesian women.
