The Indonesian people will, for the first time, hold the legislative and presidential elections simultaneously on April 17, 2019.

The presidential and vice-presidential candidates, as well as the candidates for the House of Representatives (DPR), Regional Representatives Council (DPD) and regional legislative councils (DPRDs) will be elected simultaneously at the same time. What is the impact of the simultaneous election for political parties? Are there benefits for the people in holding a simultaneous election?
