<![CDATA[Verification officers play a strategic role in ensuring the validity of legislative candidates’ nomination documents. Verifiers’ and the public’s understanding of electoral criminal law remains limited, as reflected in cases where forged academic certificates managed to pass the verification stage. This community service initiative aims to provide education on electoral law and strengthen the role of verification officers in carrying out the administrative verification process for candidacy with meticulous and accountable standards. The methods employed include awareness-raising sessions, training, and digital legal education resources, delivered through face-to-face meetings with KPU verification officers and community leaders in several locations. The results of the activities demonstrated an improved understanding among verification officers regarding their powers, the limits of their responsibilities, and the legal consequences of negligence in the verification process. It is hoped that strengthening the role of verification officers through this legal education will contribute to efforts to prevent electoral violations from the very stage of candidate nomination.]]>
