The three provincial elections in Java, namely in West Java, Central Java and East Java, have important implications for the chess game of national politics ahead of the 2019 general election. The victors in these three provinces may lead to renewed spirit among political parties and presidential candidates contesting the 2019 election.
Almost half of nationwide voters in the 2014 general election (47.9 percent) lived in West Java, Central Java and East Java. West Java has the most voters with 33,045,082 (17.4 percent), followed by East Java with 30,639,897 (16.1 percent) and Central Java with 27,385,217 (14.4 percent).
