Seventy-one people have so far died from exhaustion following the world’s largest single-day election in Indonesia last week, according to the government.
It sounds like a lot of the volunteers are older people or people who are sick enough that they can’t work, so they’re already at risk. I know in the US, election volunteers are mostly older retired folks, but in my area elections happen in cooler months and in air conditioned buildings, so there’s not much danger of exhaustion.

This seems like an entirely plausible explanation, thank you.
