Summarize the article

More than 270 election staff die counting votes.This article explain about why
election workers in Indonesia have died. In April,17 2019 election do in Indonesia.
Each citizen chooses in his own territory. After that, the votes will be counting and
the staff have long hours of work counting millions of ballot papers by hand. In this
election, staff were expected to work through the night in sweltering conditions,
which took a hefty physical toll on many. The KPU spokesman said 272 election
workers had died from overwork-related illnesses. The elections were the first time
the country of 260 million people combined the presidential vote with national and
regional parliamentary ballots, in order to save money. The huge numbers have
apparently taken their toll on temporary election staff, who unlike civil servants, do
not undergo a medical examination before starting work.

Offer my opinion
Even thought combining the elections can decrease state budgets, the government
should reconsider the effect of this merger. Because this is the first time Indonesia has
used such a method. As a result, many of election workers in Indonesia have died,
mostly of fatigue-related illnesses caused by long hours of work counting millions of
ballot papers by hand.
