2024 Indonesian General Elections | Beyond Power: Upholding the Rule of Law amid Democratic Adversities

ANFREL's international expert mission, accredited by Bawaslu, deployed three electoral analysts, seven short-term observers and four Election Day observers across 11 of Indonesia's 38 provinces, conducted more than 126 stakeholder interviews and visited 113 polling stations for the 14 February 2024 vote. It reported the world's largest one-day election of the year, with 206 million eligible voters, but found electoral integrity facing significant challenges from the legal framework, from the independence of the KPU, from the mobilisation and abuse of state resources to sway voter preferences, and from Bawaslu's responsiveness to complaints and violations of election law. It reported separately on mis- and disinformation, including emerging misuse of artificial intelligence, on overseas voting including duplicate voter registrations, and on the 30 percent women's candidate quota.
