Securing the 2024 Elections
The government has only approved the KPU\'s proposal to hold regional head elections (Pilkada) in November 2024.
The atmosphere of the DPR Commission II working meeting with the government and election organizers, Thursday (16/9/2021) in Jakarta.
The schedule and stages of the 2024 General Election have not yet been agreed. The government, the House of Representatives (DPR) and the General Elections Commission (KPU) are still divided on a number of issues.
Budget efficiency and political stability were the reasons given why the government rejected the proposal of the KPU to hold the presidential and legislative elections on 21 Feb. 2024. The government has proposed three alternative election schedules, namely 24 April, 8 May and 15 May, 2024. The KPU has also been asked to review the proposed budget for the holding of the elections which was estimated to reach Rp 86 trillion (US$6 billion), three times the 2019 election budget of Rp 27 trillion.
