Presidential candidates Joko Widodo (left) and Prabowo Subianto (right) walk hand in hand at a pledge for a peaceful campaign ahead of the 2019 election that was held at the National Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta on Sunday, Sept. 23. The presidential candidates hope to receive support from volunteers at a time when coalition parties also have to concentrate on preparations for the legislative election.

If the scope of democracy is general election, Indonesia may be the most democratic country.

Since the start of the direct regional elections in 2005, there have nearly been no days without elections in Indonesia, because there are 542 regions (provinces, regencies, cities). Just after the simultaneous regional elections on June 27, 2018, in 171 regions (17 provinces, 39 cities and 115 regencies), Indonesia has been busy again with the stages of simultaneous elections, presidential elections (pilpres) and legislative elections (pileg) in 2019. The political temperature has inevitably continued to heat up.
