An investigation found that Indonesia’s election commission violated official procedures when tallying votes during the country’s presidential election.

Indonesia’s election supervisory agency, known as Bawaslu, said Thursday that the election commission incorrectly entered vote data during the count. It didn’t release further details, including how many errors were made and what impact they may have had on the final tally.
