After this determination, a maximum of 21 days before being inaugurated, the elected DPRD member candidates must report their assets through the LHKPN (State Officials' Wealth Report) to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the receipt must be submitted to the Malang City KPU.

After the plenary meeting of the determination, the Chairperson of the Malang City KPU, Aminah Asminingtyas said, the wealth report is mandatory. If it is not done, the name of the person concerned will not be included in the KPU's decision letter.
