The history of Indonesia’s democratic election

Indonesia holds a national election every five years to choose a new president, vice president, and parliamentary and local representatives. This year’s event marks only the fifth presidential election in Indonesian history. Indonesia’s first presidential election occurred in 2004, as the country shifted into the Reform era after the New Order era ended, marked by the fall of President Soeharto’s three-decade rule in 1998. Before 2004, Indonesia’s president was directly appointed by the People’s Consultative Assembly (Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat/MPR).

Young voters of Indonesia

  Millennial and Gen Z voters made up more than half of Indonesia’s 204 million registered voters in the 2024 election, thus playing a significant role in the electoral scene. Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become key sources for obtaining political information among these young voters. Notably, the three presidential candidates spent billions of Indonesian rupiah to conduct advertising campaigns through Meta platforms.
