(CNN)More than 270 election staff have died from overwork-related illnesses after the world’s third biggest democracy hit the polls earlier this month, an election official said Saturday.
As of Saturday night, 272 election officers were dead and another 1,878 were sick after helping to administer the world’s biggest single-day elections on April 17, CNN Indonesia reported.
Six million election workers were involved in the election, which was billed as one of the most complicated single-day ballots ever undertaken.
