Indonesia election: More than 270 election staff die counting votes

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 KPU spokesman said 272 election workers had died from overwork-related illnesses. The KPU will finish vote counting and announce winners of the presidential and parliamentary elections on 22 May.
